What is the scariest thing you have done?
Mine was diving and coming across a shark. However on Thursday I did a tandem skydive. I will add that I am petrified of flying. I was numb. Didn't swear, scream or even utter one word the whole journey but I did jump!
What is yours?

Giving birth to my first born. Had a long and difficult labour birth and honestly didn't think either he or I would make it at several points. Still can remember the abject terror when he was whisked of to NICU as he wasn't responding
Luckily, all came good

I was dared to go inside a 'tramps' house (after he'd left the door open) by my 'friend', uncertain if he was in or out

Re: What is the scariest thing you have done?
Congrats Hebe on doing that jump - not something I'd ever do.
I am not sure what was the scariest thing I've done- most of them were not voluntary.
Top 3 runners up are- being dangled over a cliff face by my grandad rates highly, and I'm still scared of heights.
Trying to stand up to a bully because she was going for my child - normally I run, and I still have flashbacks to it after 6 years.
Having an emergency caesarian without the spinal block taking properly so I could feel things but not move, but refusing to let them knock me out until I knew DD was ok.
The winner is - Agreeing to come to Australia (I hate change, and boy was it a big one but it has worked out well.)

Being in a glider at 12,000 feet above Cooma, NSW and looking down to see clouds had moved in and I couldn't see the ground except for a small hole and then having to do a rapid corkscrew descent to get under the clouds in heavy turbulence. Scary as hell.
