One that sticks out for me is we have a large canoe race here each spring. A bunch of my staff wanted to do it from my last corporate job, but none of us had canoes. So being the smart person I am, we bought 20 dollar coleman blow up 2 man rafts and decided to enter the alternative boat race.
We proceeded to duct tape the bottoms of the rafts so that we wouldn't pop them going over the rapids along the 16 mile route.
We got there at 7 am on a brisk 40 degree day, I had on jeans, pullover, boots, jacket and a 10 dollar life preserver from wal-mart.
Between my self and my partner, we had about 450 pounds in a raft designed for 300 pounds.
My wife and daughter who was about 3 at the time, drove along the route so they could watch our progress. There was one section where the water was fast and deep where it ran under a bridge, we almost collided head first into one of the supports, trying to direct those things is next to impossible. Just as a we barely missed it, a light bulb went off in my head, if we dump this raft, my wife and daughter are going to watch me drown, there's no way I'm coming up with all this clothing on.
We quickly withdrew from the race.

Oh man.. Mine would be back when I was like 17, I bought a 68 Chevrolet C10 short bed pickup that barely ran, had a literal 5 gallon "bucket" seat (not attached to the floor), barely any clutch and no brakes, and no windshield... Being the intellectually challenged young man that I was, I drove the dumb thing home, through traffic, with nothing but a 3 on the tree to act as a quasi brake device. It amazes me that I made it home alive. LOL Boy was dumb[er] back then.

So many things. When I was 15-21, I was incredibly stupid, as was my then best friend. I often think Beevis and Butthead was based on us. Many, many things that could have gotten us jailed.
My friend drove a car into a lake (on purpose). It was an old junker (ford falcon I think) that one of the guys we worked with owned. He ended up giving it to one of us, and we drove it into a lake a couple miles away. We told him, we didn't know what happened to it, that it must have been stolen.
There was a commercial building behind my house. One night, me and my friend decided to take a sling shot and shoot out their massive plate windows. We used anything we could find, including .22s. Well one of them must have hit the cross member of the sling shot and went off. The brass hit me in the side, and left a very minor flesh wound.
These were just a few of the things.
