10 Most Incredible Things to Do Before You Die
by Nelson Doyle on 06/10/07 at 3:21 pm
Wow! Can you imagine the adrenaline rush you could get from these 10 amazing activities!
It would cost a pretty penny to engage in most of these activities, but what the heck, you can’t take it with you anyway and if you should die in pursuit of completing this list, then you’ll have died doing what only a handful of other people have done in their lifetime.
-
GO SKYDIVING
Skydiving has to be the most incredible ride of a lifetime. Taking a leap-of-faith out of the cargo hold on a B90 King Air airplane at an altitude of approximately 30,000 and free falling for about 2 minutes requires courage or just an “I am dying anyways” attitude. At this height, it requires breathing pure 100% oxygen, so to prevent getting the “bends” that could result in death.
Can you imagine the rush that skydiving is falling at more than 120+MPH straight towards the earth, knowing that there is a chance that this jump could possible be your last?
Fact:
Skydiving is statistically safer than scuba diving.
-
DOCK WITH THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
Can anyone spare a little extra change of about $20 million to book a trip to spend a week on board the International Space Station. Wow, this vacation would be the trip of a lifetime. Just imagine, staring out from the International Space Station and gazing at the awesome blue marble that we know as Earth and experiencing weightlessness would be a hoot, too. You’ll be sent a postcard or an email or something for your donation.
Fact:
The International Space Shuttle has taken more than 293,141 images of the earth. The Space Shuttle has taken more than 287,116 images, the Mir with 2,512 images and the Skylab with a mere 37 images that are stored in NASA’s databases.
-
EDGE OF SPACE SUPERSONIC JET RIDE
Ok, you don’t have a spare $20 million to spend for a 7-day trip to the International Space Station. That’s fine, but you don’t have to give up. How about considering a trip to the edge of space in a British Jet Fighter called the Lightning? Just think about it for a minute. Imagine flying 60,000 feet high over the earth at a speed of 50 thousand feet per minute and seeing the curvature of the earth. Now, that would fill a barf bag up with a stomach full of excitement.
Fact:
To put 60,000 feet in perspective, it’s like stacking 41.29 Empire State Building one on top of another and still fall a little short of the height that this flight would take you.
-
TAKE A RIDE ON A RUSSIAN MIG-FIGHTER JET
The modern-day cold war will just have to wait until after we get our chance to take a ride on the legendary MiG-29 or the extraordinary MiG-31 Foxhound, while pulling G’s way beyond the speed of sound. The best thing is that the Sokol Aircraft Plant in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia is not that far from Alaska, so if we book this adventure right, then we have the chance to see Alaska, too.
Fact:
The MiG-31 Foxhound can travel at a top speed of 1,865 mph using its power- plant of two 34,171-lb after-burning thrust Soloviev D-30F6 turbofans.
-
DIVE TO THE TITANIC ON-BOARD A SUBMARINE
If you feel more comfortable exploring the mysteries beneath the oceans, then visiting the world-famous Titanic must be at the top of any things to do list before you die kind of thing. For a mere $35,000 you could be one of the chosen few to see first hand probably the world’s most famous shipwreck. Traveling down to 3800 meters to the ocean’s bottom where light is a stranger this deep below the surface and the beast are tough.
Fact:
Only 706 passengers and crew managed to overcome the tragic sinking and the elements out of more than 2222 passengers and crew.
-
CLIMB THE GREAT PYRAMID OF EGYPT
Following in the footsteps of King Khufu and travel back in time to 2720-2560 BC to marvel at the engineering masterpiece of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid of Giza. An estimated 2.6 million blocks weighing as much as 70 tons apiece were used in the construction of the Great Pyramid. Can you imagine the sense of achievement that it would be to climb to the top of the 482-foot Great Pyramid and panning the vast desert landscape?
Fact:
The subterranean chamber leads to a passage that descends 345 feet beneath the earth. It’s foundation covers thirteen acres and has lost 33 feet of all of its dimensions due to erosion of its marble encasing that once was used to protect the pyramid from the brutal desert elements.
-
VISIT THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA
The Great Wall of China was built in the Qin, Han and Ming dynasties as defensive fortifications during the Warring States Periods of the Yan, Zhao and Qin dynasties. However, it did not become known as the Great Wall until the Qin dynasty. The construction required an army of labor that included soldiers, prisoners and average people to complete the more than 4163 miles of the wall. With a history of more than 2000 years, this is one destination that cannot be missed out on.
Fact 1:
It took “The China Great Wall Academy” 45-days to survey all of the 101 sections of the Wall in different provinces. That’s one time-consuming job.
Fact 2:
The Chinese call the Wall “Wan-Li Qang Qeng” when translated 10,000-Li Long Wall, which 10000 Li equals about 5000 km. It was built solid with a thickness of 30 feet at its widest area and a mere 15 feet at its narrowest sections.
-
COVERT OPS
Live out your wildest dream of becoming an ultra-secret covert agent and assigned a mission to take down the enemy hideout and complete the mission. No, you don’t have to join the military to experience the action of a realistic covert operation and receive covert ops training before the mission begins.
Incredible-Adventures.com offers such a vacation for the most extreme vacation adventurers among us. I found this website while researching for this article and was amazed at what some people are willing to do, just to add a little adventure in their lives. Sure, combat pistol training and high-speed evasive driving excises might sound exciting and becoming secret agent 021 (3 times more lethal than 007) has always captured the attention of many young men and boys the world over.
Fact:
Dropping down behind enemy lines operating under deep cover and carrying out missions only a few high-level government officials have approved is normally referred to as Covert Ops (Covert Operations).
-
DIVING WITH SHARKS
After watching the movie Jaws, it seemed like the perfect extreme vacation that would scare the heck out of you and overload the senses with unthinkable excitement. Great white sharks circling the cage like a prehistoric stealth bomber planning its attack. The only thing that is between you and them is a stainless steel cage. Every time the sharks crash into the cage with the power of a truck, the strength of the engineering is being tested. Diving with sharks is on this list, because the attraction can eat the spectators.
Fact:
The world-record for the largest Great White Shark was caught in 1948 and measured at 21 feet long almost 5 feet longer than the average size Great White Shark.
-
TAKE AN AFRICAN SAFARI
One of the coolest vacations that a person could ever take is booking an African safari. Just think how amazing it would be to actually observe nature’s magnificent beasts roaming free in the wild. Loins resting under the shade, while hippos waddle about in the mud holes and elephants standing guard out in the distance. Look! There is a pair of giraffes grazing on those trees and checkout those rhinos as they charge. Pilanesberg National Park is South Africa’s fourth largest national park comprising 212 square miles of nature at her best.
Fact:
Pilanesberg National Park is the home of Africa’s Top Five animal attractions including lion, leopard, black and white rhino, elephant and buffalo, not to mention the zebra, hippo, giraffe and crocodile that an adventurer may be faced with on an African Safari.

Whoops, I meant to spell International Space Station not Space Shuttle. I have submitted the corrections to my publisher and it should be corrected very soon.

I’d also like to point out the mistake in the “African Safari” entry. Many a time I’ve dreamed of traveling to Africa to see “loins” in their natural habitat.

I actually climbed the pyramids last summer in Egypt. The guards will stop you (but not by shooting) during the daytime, but if you’re careful and approach it covertly at night (combination of #8 and #6?) it is possible if done quickly and quietly.
melliebee
Oct 8th, 2007
nope, definitely cannot climb the pyramids (I don’t know how you got into the pyramid grounds at night anyway since they close at sunset anyway) unless you want to find yourself in an egyptian jail that even the usually effective bribe can’t get you out of.

Correction: You do NOT skydive from 30,000 feet. I am a licensed skydiver. Skydivers jump from approximately 14,500 feet or lower, depending on the weather and other conditions such as the aircraft used.
Rarely, such as a time when you participate in a 50-way formation, you may jump from 15,500, which is what I did this weekend. Although I was not in the 50-way formation. There were two slots left on one of the planes that went up and I got one of the slots. At this altitude and the time it takes to get to that altitude with a larger plane, you can possibly experience hypoxia. I became dizzy when I stood up at 15,500 feet. Waited a few seconds to make sure I was aware and left the plane.
The only way you are jumping from 30,000 feet is in the military or a civilian HALO jump, which is very expensive. About $3500.

The skydiving jump from 30,000 feet is a HALO jump and I wrote about things that were most obtainable given you have enough money to do these things. Incredible-Adventures offers these types of vacations, just to name one such travel agent.
Climbing the Great Pyramid has always been a dream of mine since I was very little and my understanding is if a person has enough money, then this can be arranged.
Thank you all for your comments.

Here are a few more incredible things to do before you die:
1) learn to breathe right
2) make peace with yourself
3) make peace with your parents, children, family, neighbours, and friends.
4) give some money to an authentic charity
5) teach somebody something
6) learn to appreciate your present life
7) save, or improve, someone else’s life
I can promise you you’ll feel great for longer than an adrenalin rush.

Nothing really appeals to me. It’s all been done before vicariously on the boob tube. African Safari- what a yawn. Don’t forget the heat and flies and stench. Wild Kingdom filled me up with that nonsense decades ago. Everything else, too costly. Bah humbug.

All exciting stuff I’m sure but very polluting too. A bit selfish I think for those who’ll be left after you’ve gone. How about helping those you love? I’d rather be remembered as a good person than some jet-setting playboy. But I’m not going to tell you what to do. Enjoy.

Hi popo -
Thank you for leaving your comments about this article. I agree that your list is an admiral one indeed, but really for folks whom never experienced the thrills of free falling that skydiving delivers or the rush of fear that comes along with diving with sharks, then this list is for those folks.
If you want to experience something supernatural, then you could always join a local TAPS branch in your area and go out on paranormal investigations. If you were near Memphis, Tennessee, then you would be welcomed to join my paranormal group during one of our investigations. Just a suggestion.
Thanks again to everyone who has left a response, comment or compliment to my article.

And for those religious folk posting here and making myself and every other Christian look bad…please stop. It IS out of place here, not to mention impersonal and useless in this context. It is actually detrimental to your cause, if you can understand that. Why can’t you people just take an article like this for what it is!? A fun wish list.

Someone mentioned that Pilanesburg isn’t as nice as the Kruger National Park. I also live in SA, and have done volunteer work at the Pilanesburg – it’s not as big as the Kruger, but it is lovely. It’s perfect for a day trip, especially for those who haven’t done SA nature reserves. It’s cheaper if you’re visiting Joburg and you can do the whole park in one day. I love the Kruger too, but it can be a mission to get to.
In terms of the other points. I really want to visit the great wall of China!! I totally agree with that, but I’d like to add that I also really want to see the Aurora Borealis before I die.

Some people just cannot see things for what they are, great effort in compiling this list by the way, yes Mollys list is sweet and I agree more rewarding, but this is a list for things for you to do in your life which are spoiling yourself, be selfish and treat ones self. I mean how is learning to breath right the same as travelling to the edge of space in a jet plane?! It is near impossible for us normal beings to arrange some of these list entries, but that’s the point of the list, achieving something like that, I can teach my child to peel a carrot tomorrow. The pyramid climb would be awesome!!

Hey, Know that not everyone has the money to do these things. INstead of jumping out of a plane for $300, they have indoor skydiving places. It’s amazing, you are just floating in the wind tunnel. It was only $50 and I will never forget it!

Hi,about the African safari. South Africa is a wonderful place but if you want some of the “real” Africa, i suggest somewhere else. Personally I adore Zambia, the parks there are magnificent and not as commercial as SA. Try Luangwa, Kafue or Lower Zambezi. There you can get a taste of real Africa

Cool list but does anyone know where to get the list which I was browsing for when I chanced upon this one?
Here are a few things I wish to do with you at some point in this lifetime:
Be your best friend.
Get caught with you in the rain.
Dance with you in the rain.
Stargaze on a clear night.
Watch the sunset together.
Spend all day with you doing nothing.
Moonlit walks on the beach.
Be more proud of you than I already am at this very moment.
Go on a carriage ride through the park.
Do a crossword together.
Go to brunch.
etc, etc, etc …
Sorry it’s a bit long. Tks.

I’m sorry to say that i would not be alive if I did any of these actions. jesus christ You want me to swim with sharks why? and who the hell drives a mercedes in an african safari @_@ me jumping out of a plane, my friends do it but what the heck is so fun about thinking that ur gonna die? I think the most I’d ever do is bunjee jump or something. 50 thousand feet per minute oh god, i think my body would go into shock. Visiting the pryamids sounds nice, climbing them and potentially rotting in egyptian jail, no no no! I might sound like I have no fun at all but see theres a thin line between fun and insane.

I’m really impatient, and looking for the best way to combine these.
I was thinking to use covert ops techinques to steal a MiG fighter then eject in scuba gear above the Titanic dive site which is hopefully infested with sharks. Then I could take my supersonic jet to do a fly-by of the pyramids & Great wall of China before parking in the middle of an African safari.
Anyone have a better plan?

Everyone saying “oh well I want to live” blah blah. PSH! come on! You’re going to die when you are meant to die, it will never be an accident(especially those of you talking religiously, should know this). So why not live it up? Take every chance you get for what its worth, LIVE your life while you have it. If you are meant to die while falling in thin air weightless then guess what? that’s when you’ll die ha-ha. Don’t let fear hold you back from anything. You can die doing almost anything.. so.. I don’t know! lighten up! (: Although! I do agree with more simple things in life for my personal list. These things would be amazing to do though, but I personally get more pleasure out of the simple things.

DO NOT CLIMB any of the pyramids in Giza. It’s illegal. Unless you give bakhsheesh (bribe money) to a tourist policeman, in which case you’re just being a crappy, inconsiderate tourist who doesn’t realize how old those pyramids are and how important it is to discourage people from climbing them and bringing along their destruction, trash, graffiti, etc.
Seriously. Scratch that off your lists.

We went to South Africa last year, not as tourists, but to visit my grandparents, and they took us to Pilansberg. It’s better to go with someone you know than as tourists. We went when it was winter in Canada, and summer there. An elephant was walking on the road in front of us, and another was slurping water with its trunk and spraying in its mouth! It was a trip I’ll never forget, a must-see. Your list is so inspiring, I thought “Why didn’t I think of that?” Your list is my speech topic for school.

I think that 1 other thing you can do before you die is swim in a pool of chocolate. That be a waste of chocolate but still fun!
i would honestly do some of these things! And i am writing a speech and this website is so cool, it’s helped heaps.
I also think I might try some of these things. Most ordinary people don’t get to so I am going to try some thing out of the ordinary!

I’m all set to do my skydive next month…i’m so excited and so utterly terrified at the same time… i’m all for a bit of inner peace etc etc… but come on guys… you can learn soo much about yourself by doing these things…its not all about being shallow and having cash… my skydive is to raise money for a local hospice where i live, and in doing good, i’m also going to be testing myself to see if i can actual jump out of a plane (arrrrgh) not only that, but i’ll have more confidence if i can do it, and have a fantastic memory that i can say “hey kids, you wanna hear about the time i jumped out of an areoplane”
Brilliant list..Great Wall of China is on my list for next year…..
WELL DONE

I think most of you are very pessimistic, doing things for others and making peace with yourself ect.are very rewarding indeed but should be daily things, not on a list of one time amazing experiences that will broaden your horizons. I love the list and plan on adding some of these to my own list of things Id love to do before I die : ]

Ok heres my two cents. I can unicycle and walk on my hands or cartwheel, not enough to go to my grave with. Here is what life is truely all about….. Those who have overcome great challenges, ones that would break another man, cause him to give in or give up are and only then true survivors….alas but it is a doudle edge sword for those that do overcome great struggle are then obligated to show others the way…and that my friend is how you measure a man if he does the latter of.
