Some people truly have a passion for risk-taking. The rush of adrenaline it provides can be damn near addicting to those who chase it.
Meanwhile, I'm content being a little scared cat and watching others do those scary, dangerous things. Join me, won't you, and check out this list of people who have gotten themselves into some pretty precarious positions.
They're called safety straps but I've never felt less safe looking at a photo.
Apparently, this car was stolen and abandoned there too, which is even more baffling. Of all places to leave it, there?
Oh to one day have the confidence of this cat. Fearless and bold, an icon.
If I saw this, you wouldn't catch me within 20 miles of that plaza. I'm not risking it.
That van is clearly big enough to fit the washer so what's in the trunk? More garbage bags full of bottles?
This looks like a shot out of a movie, a real record scratch moment.
Somewhere down the line, that supervisor got tired of being a supervisor and decided to just start seeing what he could get away with.
I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who works on powerlines, wind turbines, and the big tall things I'm too much of a baby to even imagine scaling.
Whatever he's doing, surely it can be done from further away with a long sitck.
Seeing as the building's still there, it all ended okay that time but let's hope no one ever needs to pull that specific alarm ever again.
Thankfully you decided not to, that would've hurt.
There's a lot going on here that all could have been avoided by simply using a ladder.
They say 'work smart not hard' but this isn't even smart.
They would have been better off just letting it fall. Gets rid of all the anxiety and anticipation.
Crashing your car is never lucky, but crashing your car here and not falling into that pit is extremely lucky.
What, were they out of forklifts and pallets?
This one clearly isn't the garbage man's fault but this was still a pretty precarious spot to be in.
If you don't know, that's a military-grade flare.
It was very sweet of them to help but you can rarely catch me behind the wheel of my car when it snows, let alone behind every wheel of a bus.
Ah, the ever-faithful stack of not-quite-ladders. A classic.
Honestly, a bucket seems like it'd be pretty solid holding-wise. I'm more concerned about the swinging.
