We'd all do this, wouldn't we? Given the chance?

The 4-man Olympic Bob at La Plagne with a steel shell around me was bad enough, I would not even look at that jump.

I've also done that, great laugh and quite safe. Something off a shiny shovel comes to mind.

there's one like that in Wales

There is also the fastest zip line - sending MrsF on that (got vouchers) - so far persuaded daughter to take the other place - not for me. I like an 'element' of control - doesn't really stack up to any interrogation, as you are only 'just' in control of an MTB ! and the 'danger' is real.

I once stood on top of a ski jump ramp just for a look no intention of jumping, even that brought me out in a cold sweat

You beat me, I looked up to the bottom of an olympic one from the landing area, and declined a walk to the top.

You wouldn't get me up there...

The zip line is brilliant. Particularly going head first. I did it about 4 years ago, with daughter 1, her husband and son in law's dad. Daughter and I are both adrenaline ride junkies, so we thought the rides were too short, whereas our contemporaries thought they were just long enough

You can keep it....

Safe but I had to count my fillings at the end!

I wouldn't mind a go, although if it's winter sports then the bobsleigh would be my first choice.

The usual phrase that precedes a successful entry into the annual Darwin Awards competition is “Hey fellas! Watch this!”

or " Hold My Beer and watch this"

@I like Skol 's motto I seem to remember

Yes. Well, when I say yes.....

 

[Donger]

I have stood at the top of the one in Oslo. No amount of money would persuade me to jump off it. Eddie the Eagle is one of my all time heroes.

 

[swee'pea99]

You start with smaller jumps like 5m, 10m and go from there.

Go from there back to the bar.
