We love, we hate, we eat, we sleep, and we look for experiences to excite and amaze us._ It’s that thrill-seeking nature that makes us so different from other species. It’s what makes us want to drive fast down empty roads, jump from into the water from heights and challenge our bodies and our minds to reach new levels of excitement. Still, there’s got to be an upper limit on that thrill-seeking right? A point at which people say: “_well that’s just crazy_.” Well if you go by this list, maybe not! Here are 10 of the craziest, most insane and most dangerous things in the world that people do for fun! [⌊Sahm⌉⌊Sahm⌉[ ## **1. Swim With Millions Of Jellyfish in Palau** [⌊Woman swimming among jellyfish in the ocean wearing goggles and a swimsuit⌉⌊Woman swimming among jellyfish in the ocean wearing goggles and a swimsuit⌉ ](https://i0.wp.com/stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/underwater-girl-jellyfish_89910_990x742.jpg?quality=89&ssl=1) via photography.nationalgeographic.com There’s a place on the island nation of Palau called Ongeim’l Tketau, or “Jellyfish Lake” where you can literally swim with millions of jellyfish. There are two types of jellyfish, and both these types have stinging cells, but they aren’t always enough to cause harm. Still, overcoming your fear to dive into the depths is painful enough! ## **2. Slide Down The Side Of An Active Volcano In Nicaragua** [⌊Person in orange gear mountainboarding down a steep slope in volcanic terrain⌉⌊Person in orange gear mountainboarding down a steep slope in volcanic terrain⌉ ](https://i0.wp.com/stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/article-1178850-04D73C07000005DC-85_634x451_popup.jpg?quality=89&ssl=1) via [http://www.extrahyperactive.com](http://www.extrahyperactive.com) If you’ve ever wished you could throw yourself off the side of an active volcano on a wooden sled, wish no more. The Cerro Negro, or Black Hill, just outside of Leon, Nicaragua is a 160-year-old active volcano with a very steep slope of small- sized rocks. Apparently, crazy people love to climb to the top, jump on a sled, and then ride the rocky way down. Good luck with that. ## **3. Climb To Sydney’s Heights On The Harbour Bridge** [⌊Via www Everythingaustralia Com⌉⌊Via www Everythingaustralia Com⌉[ via [http://www.everythingaustralia.com](http://www.everythingaustralia.com) There are few people who wouldn’t recognise the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, the world’s tallest steel arch bridge. But how many people would want to climb it? More than you might think, with BridgeClimb Sydney being actively in operation since 1998, and thousands of people being strapped into harnesses for the long climb to the top! ## **4. Climb The Stolen Chimney In Utah** [⌊Person jumping off a rocky cliff in a desert canyon landscape⌉⌊Person jumping off a rocky cliff in a desert canyon landscape⌉ ](https://i0.wp.com/stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/ancient-art.jpg?quality=89&ssl=1) via holeintheclouds.net Utah is known for its unusual and amazing rock formations, something that has attracted rock climbers to the state for many years. Few are more well known than the Stolen Chimney, located near Moab, Utah. The rock is known for its very unusual shape, which makes climbing physically and technically challenging. Apparently, if you manage to claw your way up to the top, the view is incredible! ## **5. Cross The Trift Suspension Bridge above the Trift Glacier** [⌊Dangerous things people do for fun⌉⌊Dangerous things people do for fun⌉[ Via [httpwww Alux Com](http://www. Alux. Com) Measuring 170 metres long and soaring 100 metres above sea level, the Trift Suspension Bridge is one of the longest and highest pedestrian suspension bridges in the Alps. It was originally built in 2004, then replaced in 2009. Although the bridge actually serves as a way to access the Trift Hut of Switzerland’s national hiking club, it’s a tourist attraction for thrill-seekers in their own right. ## Next Page: More Crazy Dangerous Things People Do For Fun ![author avatar](https://i0.wp.com/stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/ 12/clare_whitfield_profile.webp?quality=80&ssl=1) Clare Whitfield Chief Editor Clare Whitfield is the Editor of Stay at Home Mum and a recognised voice in practical home management for Australian families.
