Getting to Know You - Part 2 : Risk Taking / Fear Factor
-
Let's make this one more interesting! Let's also do a running tally!
Questions :
1. You're standing on the balcony of a 25th storey unit. The balcony does not have solid metal / concrete railings but instead, there's only waist-high full glass panels all round. Would you dare to lean over the glass panels with both hands outstretched?
2. Bungee Jumping... dare to or not?
3. Tandem parachuting (you're strapped in front of an experienced sky diver)... dare to or not?
4. There's a hot business opportunity and you have to liquidise your assets and withdraw all your savings to raise up enough capital to participate. Assuming there's just a 50:50 success to failure chance. Would you?
5. You've met this wonderful person and you seem to have so much in common. He/She seems to be a perfect match for you. After knowing each other for just three months, he/she pops THE question. Will you or won't you say "Yes!"?
6. You were chosen by a Zookeeper to get up on stage and help him with his next act. He holds a croc's mouth wide open and asks you to put your head into the croc's mouth! Will you do it?
7. It's night time and you're on a solo camping trip. Suddenly, you realise that you've left an important personal belonging in the forest, perhaps 500m away from the campsite. You hear the rustling of leaves, and unfamiliar animal sounds and you squint into the forest but it's pitch black! Grabbing your torchlight, you contemplate entering the forest to retrieve your possession. Will you proceed?
8. Your drain in the bathroom are clogged! Looking into the drain, it seems that you might just need to put your arm into the murky depths of the drain to clear away the blockage with your bare hands! You know it was probably a piece of plastic that dropped into the drain and all you need to do is reach in, feel around for it, and remove it. You've heard of centipedes and cockroaches coming out of the drains though! Would you dare to put your arm in?

Risks of sustaining a spinal injury is much too great!

4. There's a hot business opportunity and you have to liquidise your assets and withdraw all your savings to raise up enough capital to participate. Assuming there's just a 50:50 success to failure chance. Would you?

been there, done that...
2. Bungee Jumping... dare to or not?
folks had to weasel a promise out of me not to do it
3. Tandem parachuting (you're strapped in front of an experienced sky diver)... dare to or not?
see question 2
4. There's a hot business opportunity and you have to liquidise your assets and withdraw all your savings to raise up enough capital to participate. Assuming there's just a 50:50 success to failure chance. Would you?
not a chance.. money is a means to an end.. besides, these things, there's always a catch and a scam somewhere..
5. You've met this wonderful person and you seem to have so much in common. He/She seems to be a perfect match for you. After knowing each other for just three months, he/she pops THE question. Will you or won't you say "Yes!"?
if i'm in love, and know she is also with me, without hesitation, emphatically YES!
6. You were chosen by a Zookeeper to get up on stage and help him with his next act. He holds a croc's mouth wide open and asks you to put your head into the croc's mouth! Will you do it?
sure... it's safe.. as long as you do not touch the insides of the mouth of the croc, the croc will not shut its jaws... it's a reflex action how they hunt.. it's by feel

sure... in Singapore, the only things that will get you are.. wild boars and they are easily chased away.. in other places, it depends on what the local fauna is.. leopards will take people and they hunt at night.. so will lions... knowing what is out there is important

been there, done that... centipede bites hurt but they won't kill... roaches are harmless -

Bear, you should never ever attempt bungee jumping because that will definitely ruin your back and you'll become a quadriplegic! So, NEVER EVER do that, k! Better listen, or else, Missy will
av, I was kinda amused by your answers cause I thought that you're more of a risk taker than you are! Guess I don't know you!
And, say, when it comes to love, I guess everyone's willing to take that leap of faith!

I think each individual's perception of risk is different.Originally posted by Rhonda:av, I was kinda amused by your answers cause I thought that you're more of a risk taker than you are! Guess I don't know you!
I'd happily scubadive, even in poor visibility conditions, which to others might be a huge risk. but the same may think nothing of bungee jumping while you'll have to shoot me first
Did I mention I do not jaywalk as well -

6. You were chosen by a Zookeeper to get up on stage and help him with his next act. He holds a croc's mouth wide open and asks you to put your head into the croc's mouth! Will you do it?
Ask him fugg off. Must be damn smelly inside.

What the hell are men for ? -
risk is uncertainty...
if i jump out of a tall building, there is no risk... because there's 100% certainty that i will die
i'm actually ruled by logic.. except for matters of the heart..
as you can see, if you stick your head in a croc's mouth, there's no risk it'll shut if you do not touch the insides of the mouth... that's logic
again, with the animal sounds... pure logic...
bungee, i know i'm not going to die after all the precautions and failsafes which were incorporated into it after a few people went splat
(that was before i was injured)
as for skydiving, with the new canopies, you cannot even tangle up if you try... -
Helloooo, Cammy!!
I see you're not much of a risk-taker at all! Good, good! Like that can eradicate 10,000 dangerous ways of dying! -
Why everyone so willing to say yes >.<"
isnt marriage more impt than a bungee jump ? -
Is it because of the risk of accident or the risk of being fined for jaywalking by an officerOriginally posted by av98m:Did I mention I do not jaywalk as well -
I've come to view marriage as a crapshoot, doesn't matter how long you've been dating.Originally posted by Ferret:Why everyone so willing to say yes >.<"

Did I mention I do not jaywalk as well You don't jaywalk?!
I have no choice but to do that in Melbourne. THanks to the brilliant traffic authorities there, who placed the traffic lights at either ends of a loooooong stretch of road where I live. 
(Why?! I don't pay enough taxes izzit?! 
)
Anyways, I almost became roadkill THRICE! I was so scared my feet turned wobbly!
I'm bad at crossing roads!
But, hmm... I didn't have that whole life flashing before you movie leh! Either it's not my time yet or my brain's CPU doesn't have enough memory to process all those graphics! -
Only 2 out of 15 Sgforumites jaywalk.
Guess where I got my stats from~ -
I was traumatised when I was in taiwan -_-"Originally posted by Rhonda: You don't jaywalk?!

True! True!!Originally posted by av98m:I've come to view marriage as a crapshoot, doesn't matter how long you've been dating.
Doesn't mean the longer you date, the more you'll know each other because sometimes, the moment you move in together, chiangz!!... all the bad habits that you were never aware of all starts to be exposed!
I've dated a guy for seven years before and in the end, it all came to naught. So, oh well! -
