What's the scariest thing you have ever done?

What is the scariest thing you have ever done????

On the 29th July 1989, I jumped out of a plane at 2000 feet, with the Red Devils, in Aldershot, in aid of Children in Need. It was a static line jump which meant that I was attached to the plane, and the parachute opened on its own, no need to pull the cord.

I have to admit that for days beforehand I was bricking it, but once my feet hit terra firma I could have gone and done it again.

Where I worked at the time was nearby and even though nobody could get out from work, they could all see me come out of the plane.

The stupidest thing I did was get married - but that is another story LOL

Tell my 6ft 1in 17st lorry driving Father inlaw that his daughter was pregnant

[notgrumpyreally]

Scariest or worst? Bit the same. Having the phone call from the hospital telling me me my Dad had just died and then having to pick my children up from school then going to tell my Mother.

[chickengrandma-2008]

Giving birth.

Having to tell my two grandsons that their father was dead .........he committed suicide at 32

[notgrumpyreally]

There's no training to do that 😞

[10phizz]

There`s no training for very much at all ..........not the big things anyway.

Get my 100metres swimming certificate after learning to swim at 55, and being terrified of the water all the time.

Giving birth & telling my children that their dad had taken his own life.

Either going into labour knowing that I would be leaving hospital with my son's funeral to arrange or agreeing that my husband not be put back onto life support, knowing I had to go home and tell the girls that Daddy wasn't coming home for Christmas after all. They were 2 1/2 and almost 4 at the time.

Sadly like cosmic it was agreeing to turn off my husbands life support knowing I would be leaving the hospital a widow and single parent to 2 young children with another on the way who would never meet her Daddy

Probably being with my mother in her last hours.

And my thoughts and hugs go out to all the people above who have had to go through terrible times.

I go on rollercoasters with my kids (which I used to love!)  -  I end up regretting as I am scared of heights and, well, it scares me 😞

The scariest experience I have ever had was when I had anaphylaxis 😞 and thought I was going to die.

But as my kids were with me I had to try not to panic, went into practical mode and hoped I wasn't going to die on my kitchen floor.

I still have flashbacks 😞

Setting off in a 2CV to drive to Mongolia.... so scary we did it twice!

[captainbovine]

mine was walking along a path that had a sheer drop into the ocean on one side. I always wanted there to be enough path if I ever fell for me to be able to get up again..here there wasn't an inch to spare. I went to bits, OH had to hold my hands and back up all the way back to the car. I've never been so terrified in my life, and I cried.

It's just nothing compared to what you guys have done. I have so much admiration for you all, I feel very humbled.

[carolyorkie2010]

My thoughts go out to anyone who has had to experience suicide; My late Father and I got home from work one day in 1974 to find my Mother had killed herself; he never got over it.

Mine seems so small in comparison with other posters myself and my 2 daughters (one disabled) were caught in a rip tide in Alicante (calm sea at the time)September just gone...we almost drowned ..if it was not for the lifeguards.Very Frightening.

[cat-knitter]

I had to wake my youngest to tell him his older brother had taken his own life.

[ginap.123]

Such sad stories. Most of us have had it easy in comparison. Thinking of you all
