View Full Version : Your biggest adrenaline rush?

So, when did you have your biggest adrenaline rush?

The clostest thing I ever did to bungie jumping, or diving out of an airplane was jumping off the san clemente pier, couple of friends dared each other and we all jumped when the lifeguard wasn't looking, we jumped all the way at the end of the pier. It was awesome. :P

I'm going to go with driving in the back of my mates car, we went around corners going 100km/ph, he's got a v8 so it was drifting. Was certainly exciting.

Definitely has to be paddling the West Branch. Woo-hoo, that was a blast.

With water like this, who wouldn't have a ball?

:lol: I used to do that too, except the first time I wouldn't do it so my brother chucked me off. We didn't do it at the end, though.

Pfft. Kayaking is for wimps.

In the top picture, that's M.S. in the stern and C.M. in the bow.
In the bottom picture, D.T. is in the stern and M.M. is in the bow.

They're running one of the drops below Abol Bridge, on the West Branch.

It would have to be the time I was in the middle of a 12-13 car pileup and somehow, miraculously didn't even get touched. It was the scariest, most bizarre feeling I've ever had.

It was after "On the Waterfront" it's a pretty pathetic music festival and a lot of people are around. I go every year or so to stumble across some old friends and have somewhat of a good time. I meet up with a couple buddies and we stop by a friends apartment to have some drinks. Well our friends house is on a pretty bad part of town, but it's usually relatively calm for the most part. We're outside on the porch minding our own buisness when all of a sudden shots burst out of nowhere. I did'nt know where the hell they came from at all, but I could hear them hitting tree leaves and cars in the parking lot! I really don't know how many shots were fired, but seconds afterword I heard of group of people shouting and coming our way! I was horrified! It was a combination of adrenaline and fear or something, or else just the basic instinct to survive. I don't know, but I've never been so scared in my life. Ever! It turns out the group of people coming around the corner were the ones the shots were intended for. So they just ran right past us, I literally thought I was going to die.
I was completly unarmed. The fear I felt that night was indescribable.

Farmgirl beat me to the "Childbirth" one, although I was'nt the one birthing the child it was still incredibly exciting.

Mine was earlier today. To make a long story short, I fell through what I thought was 3 foot ice on frozen-over Lake Ontario. This wasn't the biggest RUSH i've had, but the most power i've ever summoned from my body. I had my hands planted on the ice keeping my torso above the water, and I literally did a kind of motion with my arms to push me out of the water (like a pushup, just I was vertical with the ice) that launched me out. And when i say launched, I mean my two arms and the flailing of my legs shot me out of the water to the point where my buddy said I jumped three feet above the ice from the water, which means I vertically launched myself about 4 feet. No frostbite, but I almost broke through again running back to the car on a softspot. By the time I got to the car, my pants were frozen to my legs and my shoes were frosty.

The summer before the last (the dry, hot, extremely long one - you Euros surely remember), we returned from a gig in a van (Mercedes Sprinter - they knew why they named it that way) with seven passengers plus a driver; we were just crossing the 'border' between Bavaria and BaWü when the first rain for literally months came pouring down, which we appreciated. Too bad that the long awaited rain mixed with the long accumulted dust on the Autobahn, the resulting mug was somewhat slippery. Cruising with 150-160 km/h in such conditions wasn't the brightest idea, but we hadn't had much sleep, the driver was one of those guys you can put behind the wheel for 24hrs and he doesn't get tired.
All of a sudden, one of the backliners had the bright idea to pay a visit to the #1 fastfood restaurant worldwide, which advertised a bright yellow M right beside the fastlane. So he started yelling to take the exit "RIGHT NOW!"
Too bad our driver listened to him, too bad the road was all slippery, too bad we were too fast anyway, so we crashed with full-speed into a little wood, cause we were way too fast to make the turn.
As it is with highways, you exit with a turn to the right. I was sitting behind the driver, we started to slide, the van turned, and all I could see was a treeline coming towards me WAY too fast.

I still thank God it was a Mercedes van we were traveling with; it absorbed most of the impact; there were people, amps and instruments flying around when we crashed, but everybody was ok. Somehow we managed to push the Benz on a nearby 'Raststätte' parking-lot. Right beside the McD.
It was then 7-8 mins after the crash when everybody got 'a little pare around the nose'. Except the backliner whose demand our driver tried to follow. He went into the Mac while the rest of us tried to call insurance companies, the police, car-rental companies to get his meal. And returned with a bag, only to compain that they forgot the sauce for his French Fries.
I think I've never been so close to really lose control over myself. With all the adrenaline from the crash circulating in my veins and the backliner who literally caused it complaining about fries, resp. the lack of sauce while our driver tried to explain the situation to the cops...
Long story, but still way too clear in my memory. Gotta get me a drink ;)

I think my biggest adrenaline rush was when I realized I was alive and my skull didn't feel like a broken eggshell after a devastating car accident. Then I wanted water.
