I am so not a thrill-seeker. My idea of crazy is the big roller coaster at the theme park. But there are people out there (and you know who you are!) that love to have fun, risk their lives, and get their adrenaline pumping all at the same time. Many of the activities that fall into this category come in the form of sports, as the thrill comes from challenging yourself to see if you have the skills you need to survive. And what if you don't? Well, it's best not to think about that.

This list of the scariest (and most dangerous!) sports as compiled by Forbes Traveler includes everything from running with the bulls to sledging (I didn't even know what that was) to cliff diving. Do you have a favorite sport that gives you a thrill? And what is it about risking everything that makes these sports so fun?
