Adrenalin Rushes

Up in the mountains near where I live, there is a 40 foot waterfall that I had always wanted to get to the top of. When I was younger, we hiked to it multiple times but had never figured out how to get to the top of the waterfall. One day I was feeling particularly stupid and desperate, so I decided to climb up the ridge next to the waterfall in an ill-fated attempt to get to the top. Once I was halfway up the ridge, my brother yelled to come back down. That's when I realized that I was on a 45% slope leading straight to a 30 foot fall. One slip of my foot and I was dead. I'm proud to say that I didn't panic, and with adrenaline pumping I climbed back down. I will say it was the scariest and stupidest thing I've ever done, and looking back on it it was the closest I've ever gotten to dying.

Hmm, I've had a number of pretty close ones. Most were related to Minecraft or some other video game, somehow :p

When I talked to the owner of a pretty large network... after 1 in the morning... because I was in trouble. That was pretty.. scary? Not scary, I guess suspenseful? I dunno. But my fingers were literally jumping around, and I was having trouble typing.

I participated in a Clan Battle - Not MCSG clans.... but MMO clans. Those guys (The other participants) played marathons of like 24 hours, on a regular basis.
THEY WERE THE GAMING GODS THAT YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT DROP DEAD FROM TOO MUCH GAMING.
THEY WERE SO PRO.
I didn't consider myself anywhere near their level, but I was actually an officer in one of the 10 clans (200+ participants. That was cray.) and apparently I did really well c: I was so excited beforehand, and afterwards I couldn't sleep until 4 AM. The next night. Meaning I stayed awake the entire night, and then nearly pulled a second straight all-nighter. GG.

Uhhh, I swam in 400 ft. deep water, in a place where sharks are known to live. I saw some hammerhead sharks the same day :c as well as some dolphins playing around c:

I'mma shut up now lol

I was on vacation, I was on the balcony , which is about 250 feet high. I leaned against the bar and one of the supporting bars snapped and the bar tilted. Could've fell to my death. And if you're wondering, the bar didn't snap because I'm fat, it was just instable. :p

So in baseball I was pitching for the last out for my team. My team was winning by 1 and there was a runner on second and third with 2 outs. I was put in for closer and I struck the guy out on 3 pitches but I was so nervous.

I use to g adrenalin rushes when I was playing MCSG but I always lost but now I'm more relaxed and don't get as jittery. Other than that my adrenalin goes up when I'm in front of crowds especially around classmates during ceremonies at my school, I just keep thinking to myself don't trip or fall and you will be fine.
