Did you take "risks" as a child growing up, if so, post em here

I had a BB gun when I was 4 or 5. I shot match sticks out of it at snakes. I learned to NOT pull the trigger unless the cocking lever way all the way up. It hit my fingers HARD when I pulled the trigger.
 
I could go on and on and on this thread. One more.....My Brother and I built a "hotrod" with derby racer wheels. The steering wheel was a wagon wheel with a broomstick crammed in it. Ropes wrapped around the broomstick ran to the front axel for steering. We built a ramp so we could jump a fire. No, our folks were not at home when we built the fire, and I still have back issues that I'm sure the jumping didn't help.
 
Grew up in the Bahamas...
Climbed coconut tress... Had to JUMP out a couple times because of attacking Bees.
At about 12, dove off a cliff at about 40 feet for $3... $2 was from my father....
When I was learning to water ski... Ran into a side of a yacht because I didn't know how to stop
I can go on and on
 
The upside down flaming symbol filled with rubbing alcohol was always a favorite
