I forgot one:
Enjoyed a Fugu omakase experience at a great place in Tokyo. A little 
scary at first

Not much of a daredevil here but have done a few things already mentioned- I’ll add- the bike ride down Haleakala. Trucks whizzing by- breaking the whole way. Lol!

Despite all the daredevil things I did in my youth, I haven’t done anything that’s as impressive as DD’s photos from the other weekend…

White water rafting
Bungee jumping over the ocean tied by my ankles
White water kayaking down the rapids 15 miles with only one hour of lessons. ( I think this was just as scary as the bungee jump)
Forgot to mention… on the same trip to Hawaii, we also flew small hang glider planes (with instructors). Even have a .5 hr flight time certificate presumably towards small aircraft pilot certification

When people ask me if I (naturally risk averse and a worrier) was “freaking out” when my daughter was working as a nurse on a COVID unit, my answer was always this: No. I can not stand it when my kids take risks for nonsense like zip lining. Its so unnecessary. It makes me CRAZY. But someone must take care of Covid patients. Why not her. I mean if not her, who should?
So no. The only truly risky activity I will ever do is drive or ride in cars. And that’s just so I can fully participate in society.

Trip to Lebanon (not risky, but as @mathmom says, people think it is). That was in 2018, though, and TBH the country is so unstable I don’t think I would go now.
And I plan to add sky diving to the list next summer when I turn 60. My older son and my daughter said they will join me. My husband thinks we’re crazy!

I know this doesn’t exactly count as dare devil for me, but your response reminded me of driving with my ex-husband in the snow in Massachusetts. He passed the snow plow in the little space that was a “scenic overlook.” We were driving a VERY small car, not an SUV.
Hiked to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2018. 19,341 feet. Nine days round trip. Went with an all women’s expedition. We ranged in age from 52 to 68 and all made it to the summit. My husband and youngest son are going this August.

hmmm,
stupid fast racing in cars when young
walked along edges of cliffs and climbed around the stone walls that ended at the cliffs, in Ireland
Also climbed out along the Durdle Door on South Coast of England–google for pics of it
Rode in a glider (didn’t feel risky but made me a bit “car” sick)
Picked up hitchhikers (remember when they existed?)
Probably a few things I can’t remember
Wouldn’t do ANY of it now!

I’m excluding from my list things like off-piste skiing/snowboarding or big wave surfing, since they seem normal to me, although they give my mother agita.

I’m enjoying reading this thread - it’s making me very eager to get out traveling and doing things again instead of “same old, same old.”
Our motto is we’d rather die young and truly live than grow into old age having done absolutely nothing. 
But sky diving and bungee jumping still don’t interest me. I have no idea why. We mainly love exploring - along with some zip lining, scuba, non-boardwalk hikes, etc. Those are all part of exploring to us. I’m pondering hang gliding after some of you have mentioned it.
ETA Going fast in cars doesn’t interest me either - never has - but we love those scenic curvy drives.

On my bucket list. I’ve had friends who’ve gone and said it’s amazing.

back when all my knee ligaments were still in their original condition I used to love jumping off cliffs and cornices and skiing steep and narrow couloirs. Was a blast on long skinny skis that didn’t much like carving at speeds under 40mph.
Now, with skis that do most of the work, my knees are good for about three bump runs in the morning before I spend the rest of the day bombing groomers.
I was an intern at Harper’s Bazaar in their fashion closet back when Liz Tilberis was editor, redefining the magazine into a work of art. It was an exciting time for a 20 year-old to live in New York City. I scored a sublet in the East Village and had an amazing time expanding my horizons.
To that end, I observed many things, while not necessarily partaking in them, in a variety of locales. It was an education.
I have a terrible memory, and have forgotten a lot over time. My one moment of recklessness that still sticks in my head involved a chance meeting on the street. Saw an attractive person on a motorcycle; can’t recall how it ended happening, but after a conversation, we rode two-up through Central Park at high speed in the dead of night. Now, that was something.
I also survived a designer sample sale.

Luging. I had a spectacular wipeout on my first run, and I hurt for days. I was 59 when I did it. Never again, thanks (although my H loved it, never crashed, and is trying to get his buddies to go with him).

Oh luge looks like so much fun. And yes crazy! When we got enough snow at our place in Vermont we used to make a very mild version of a luge run that on a good run might take you almost 1000 feet. (At a crawl at the end!) My brother climbed around the base of Kilimanjaro as a Boy Scout at age 10. I don’t think they summited though. I’ve only waved at it from a distance.
