Thrill Seeking

Let's be honest, life in the twenty-first century has become pretty meaningless

, resulting in more and more of us looking for that ultimate adrenaline rush while being completely safe. This article examines a few ways in which we can do this.

Bungee Jumping

What other act suggests you've lost all hope in life than throwing yourself off a bridge? Throwing yourself off a bridge up ensuring the act is so futile that you never actually hit the bottom and giving yourself a reasonable chance of actually bouncing back.

Sardonic humour aside bungee jumping is seen as one of the maddest activities around, but, of course, it is also one of the most thrilling things you can do. On an existential level you really are relying on a piece of elastic for your continued existence, and as a gesture to a god you may or may not think exists there's no greater way to laugh at the "gift of life."

Hot Air Balloon

While bungee jumping is all about showing how hard core you, and taking countless pictures of you as you bounce up and down a valley, hot air ballooning is for those of a more mature pace. You get all the thrill of being exposed high up, but at the same time none of the fear of being about to lose your life and you get the great chance to take in the scenery: it's something to be enjoyed and not feared. Of course, what make hot air ballooning even more pleasurable is that it's not something you do alone, as you can go up with just someone special or a whole group of your closest friends.

Go Karting

There's something about getting into an oversized lawnmower and racing your friends round a tiny circuit that gets the adrenaline rushing very quickly. All of a sudden everyone on the grid imagines that they're the next Schumacher or Hamilton, and if you do this with your friends the tales you'll share afterwards are often told with the most outrageous gusto. Of course, as with every other activity mentioned in this article is pretty safe, and you would have to be a total lunatic to leave the track on anything other than your own two feet.

As you can see there are plenty of ways to pump your adrenaline in twenty-first century life, which is just as well as it distracts us from wondering what it's really all about.
