19 Incredible Daredevils That Were Inches Away From Instant Death

Thrill seekers have long been the envy of the less radical members of society. Their lust for life and sense of adventure is seemingly unquenchable, though, this is not always a good thing. I bet the dude from 127 Hours regrets not taking a phone with him; the guys from Touching The Void can barely look at each other after their remarkable descent down the Peruvian Andes, and, just look what happened in the incredible film, Into The Wild. These 19 photos show people flirting with danger in the most extreme ways imaginable, fortunately – they’re all alive to tell the tale.
