Dangerous

An Australian woman has miraculously survived plunging into crocodile-infested waters after the cord snapped during her bungee jump over the Zambezi River.She was forced to swim through the rapids with her feet still tied from the jump on New Year's Eve.
"I landed with my legs tied and then had to swim to the Zimbabwe side (of the river) through the rapids," "It was quite scary because a couple of times the rope actually got caught on some rocks or debris.
"I actually had to swim down and yank the bungee cord out of whatever it was caught on to make it to the surface."

Have you or Would you ever want to do anything that was dangerous? explain
