What in the craziest thing you ever done?

When I was 17 years old, I tried to do a backflip while snowboarding. Unfortunately, the jump wasn’t successful. I landed on my stomach and I thought I was going to die because the wind was knocked out of me. I never tried again. Around the same age, I jumped of a cliff in a quarry.
