Never used any form of protection while intimate with the ladies, in the 70's
Got married senior year of HS. 3 kids, 9 grandkids and 40 years later (at end of the month) we're both still alive, kind of.

Here's one a lot of us can relate to: I stayed out all day as a kid and never had a cell phone, my parents knew I'd be okay and come home when it was dinner time.
I drank water straight from the garden hose. I sat right in front of a CRT TV, and I didn't go blind and I don't glow in the dark.
We weren't allowed to stay in the house all day. Our parents kicked us out to go play. This usually meant we were left to our own devices, to do something stupid without adult supervision. No one came looking for us. The only caveat is that we had to be home when the street lights came on. Thank goodness for slow starting sodium lamps that gave a few minutes warning before they really start throwing light.

My dad used his arm as a seat belt while I stood in the seat next to him. Fizzicks wasn't so important back in the 60s.
We ate peanut butter like it was a major food group...and nobody died.
There was lead in everything, including the paint in your bedroom, and nobody cared.

I leaned the formula for crude gunpowder when I was about 8. I'd mix up some powder and stuff the cardboard tubes from pant hangers full of it, tamping it with a small dowel. Little candle wax to seal the ends with some model rocket fuse to ignite it. Pretty nice little piece of homemade dynamite. Many a tree fell to my explosive adventuring.

Against my moms advice, I kept playing with that thing and it didn’t fall off.
I would put a whole roll of bubble tape in my check and start chewing, save it each night on my dresser and continue chewing for a week or until I forgot where I put it.
Why pop caps one at a time, when you can pound the whole roll with a hammer on the driveway?

Apparently some a*hole (or more) has pretended to be female & pissed off some folks, fine. I ain't them. I'm new to the sport so not many folks know me yet, however at some point you'll meet me (or someone you know) & look the fool for confusing me with a dude.

Agreed.
I sincerely doubt that was aimed at you.
Also agreed, trusting farts can be very dangerous... (Especially minus a gall bladder).
I played with fireworks, bb guns, wrist rockets, improvised explosives. and all manner of arson. Managed not to burn down or blow up anything that got me into real trouble. Rode bicycles without a helmet, waded in the creek at the local park catching crawdads and minnows, drank from the hose, learned how to rock climb without ropes or helmets, been riding motorcycles for more than 30 years, worked under cars without jackstands... you name it, I did it. Still here.

A few of us would get some canteens & pith helmets on and go walking out in the desert that was behind enlisted housing spend all day out there.

I ate all my Halloween candy without it being X-rayed
No one in Kansas City advertised doing that until long after I was too old to trick-or-treat anymore. Instead, my parents had my brother and I dump out all of our candy on the dining rooom table so they could inspect it - while we were in bed. Eventually I got old enough to realize they were giving a quick once over for the safety side and an in-depth review to see what they wanted out of our loot. At that point my brother and I pre-inspected the candy and took most of the good stuff and stashed it in our backyard before taking the rest inside.
We used to jump our bikes off of a ramp - and we'd jump over people. I was always the ramp engineer(except this ONE time...) and made solid ramps. My bike wasn't good for jumping so I was always the last brave soul, #14 of those getting jumped over. Only got grazed a couple of time.

I recently got some advice & they said: Don't poke the tigers!
Fair observation sure, but I didn't see how it applied to me at the time the advice was given. Still not sure it did apply but I appreciated the thought behind it, so the phrase stuck. Turns out I see a fair use for it now, though it is a bit of a stretch. Here goes it:
Unfortunately you were the poor soul in the crowd who just so happened to have picked up a stick when the tiger finally decided it had in fact, had enough of being poked. Ooops!
I'm very sorry I bit your head off. [mlp]

Started working on a geophysics crew at 18 yrs old in the mid-60's. We would move the Drilling Rig and Recording Truck along with the crew trucks in the middle of the night.
I would sleep in the back of a pick-up in a sleeping bag when it wasn't my turn to drive. The old-timers took the road through Yellowstone one night and I woke up to a bear cub climbing into the bed of the pick-up. I couldn't get out of the bag fast enough.
And, I survived.
I’m 99% certain this had to do with kazoo’s sexual habits in the 70’s.

Too many to count, truly amazed and thankful to have survived the early years...
Lots of stuff already listed in thread, plus some that were downright nuckin'futz looking back on them.
A few of the more sedate examples:
a.) Climbing up the face of ~100' tall frozen waterfall w/ no specialized gear. Was not pre-planned, but necessary at the time. There were a few hikers stopped at the trail on top (trail was impassable at that point due to ice); looks on their faces was priceless when they saw me coming up over the top of the falls...
b.) Deliberately jumping off the top of another waterfall (in better weather)...Not sure exactly how tall it was, but remember the fall taking 5 full breaths (holding the fifth) from jump-off before hitting water...
c.) A couple gross of M80's (the real ones), slingshot, stogie, and bottle of liquor pinched from the old man. Nuff said...
Then there's the ones that come as a suprise, like not realizing that one of your friends riding in the back seat is drinking (HS years) until he decides to toss the empty bottle out the window...and somehow beyond my comprehension, scores a direct-hit on the windshield of a local PD cruiser that I hadn't even noticed sitting there in the dark...Extremely lucky that the occupants of said vehicle were pretty reasonable about the whole thing and only cited the idiot in the back, despite a few of their buddies showing up that weren't quite as amused...

I used to make parachutes for various things out of plastic bags and kite string. Decided if it worked on a smaller scale it would work on a larger scale. Stole a bed sheet from the linen closet, tied off the lines to the belt loops on my jeans, climbed up on the roof, tossed the parachute into the air and let gravity do the rest as I stepped off the roof. It did. Lessons learned: Gravity is far more reliable than the belt loops on Tough Skins jeans. Thank goodness for soft bushes around the house. Mom was way more pissed about a ruined sheet than a potentially ruined kid.

Stupid, illegal and dangrous jogged my memory... (can we post more than once in this thread? :))
In college we used to jump trains on the weekend. Not to go anywhere but just for fun. The northbound trains would stop in San Luis Obispo, CA to have helper engines put on them to assist them going up the Cuesta Grade. We'd stage a car in Santa Margarita, jump the train as it went [slowly] by the off-campus housing and get off when it'd stop to remove the helpers and drive home (took about an hour or two). This went fine until my roommate jumped a train WITHOUT helpers and 10 hours later ended up in San Jose, in the middle of the night, half frozen to death.
...oh, and there was an over-a-mile-long train tunnel at the top of the 'grade that we'd drive to after the train went through town (we could beat it to the tunnel easily). We'd walk inside and get in the "step offs" - small areas that two or three people would fit in - as the train went by.

Too many to choose from... first ones that come to mind:
Building a luge style run down the steep drive of my Grandma's house on Campbell lake... icy winter that year in Anchorage. With "flexible flyer" runner sleds on our bellies, my father calculated we were just under 60mph when we reached the lake (based on distance covered over a known height drop)... I was 10, and it was my idea to bank the turns using packed snow and water brought out in buckets to make it solid ice so it would hold.
I was 12 when I bought a fifth of Southern Comfort... and stayed out until 3 or 4 am (it was light out, since it was summer in Anchorage)
A friend and I took out Dad's '76 Buick Electra when none of us had a license.
Took scuba diving C-card course in Whittier, AK at the age of 16... in FEBURARY. Water was 34 degrees. Air was -14 with wind chill One of the other students was manager of Miller distributor in Anchorage, and brought cases of MGD bottles as a 'promotion'... new product at that time. All went well until I tore a wrist seal at about 30 ft. 2nd stage hypothermia... fell in love with sodium-acetate heat packs that day.
After I did get my license, and bought (big suprise) a '68 Charger 383 4bbl 4spd... got into street racing- highlights (or lowlights) were 110 in a 35mph zone racing a 69 Firebird (saw a cop running for his car as I shifted into 4th, that's how I knew it was 110), and also doing close to 140 on the Seward highway racing an '86 vette (after the new owner going thru a mid-life crisis was peeved some 17yo punk in a 20yo "stock" car just blew his doors off from a stoplight on Northern Lights blvd. I was running green AV gas, and LOTS of ignition timing lead... but otherwise was pretty much stock.
Driving without license or insurance in College because the price of insurance was more than tuition.
Got married at 19 while in college, despite warmings from parents and others... still married after 28 years.
Summer was barefoot season.
My grandparents had a massive scrap pile behind their garage made up of leftover boards and nails, at least two decrepit mobile homes with intact metal skirting, and various car parts. With access to the garage and tools such as a clawhammer, pliers and the head of a spade that needed a new handle, I owned the fields and and created a ton of forts. No broken bones, no tetanus, no accidental injuries to bare feet, no snake or gopher bites.
my face didn't hold in a funny face look, although some might say I'm funny looking [Flower]

This was really your dad's idea so he wouldn't have to aerate the lawn.

Shooting strike anywhere matches out of our BB guns at brick walls turned into shooting at each other and finally all out BB gun fights. BB bombs, full sheet of "greenie stick-um" caps placed in the center of a piece of Mom's aluminum foil, form into cup fill w/BB's and twist shut. Throw high as possible or at each other. Took the hand grips off our bicycle handlebars, lit firecracker, dropped in followed with a marble, those things would go a long way and often times hurt like hell when you got hit.

Bottle rocket jousting on bicycles. Tape one of the old, small coke bottles horizontally on the handle bars. Insert several bottle rockets. Light them as you ride towards one another.
ETA: Roman candles worked great for this but we generally weren't rich enough to afford many of those.

We would get in bottle rocket fights with the big kids...and they could afford the more reliable and higher quality Black Cat bottle rockets. We'd be trying to fight back with our cheapie/unreliable rockets.
Then there was breaking the bottle rocket off the stick and forming a circle around it and lighting it...I recall there being a culturally insensitive name given to these random rockets...

We upped the ante on the "arrow in the air" trick... while we didn't fire directly up, we took the tip off an aluminum arrow, filled it with Pyrodex and glued a .22LR blank to the front of the shaft... didn't work as well as we hoped, wanted an effect like the dynamite arrows the Duke boys had... it didn't burn fast enough to blow up like that... but did make fire. We had good success with refilling CO2 cartridges with powder and putting a fuse in them, though.
I remember strike anywhere matches in the BB gun, and BB gun fights... none of that pansy Airsoft stuff was invented yet.

Shooting my little sister with a matchstick out of my Sheridan pellet rifle. And then waking from a nap and finding her attempting to twist one of my big toes off of my foot
