Title Activities for Adrenaline Junkies
Text

Adrenaline junkies choose to participate in a lot of activities that other people might "find" (think are; perceive as) "crazy" (insane; without logic), all in their search for the next adrenaline rush.

Many adrenaline junkies "seek" (look for) an adrenaline rush through "freefall" (falling through the air without being supported by anything). They might go "bungee jumping," which involves jumping from a high "cliff" (a rocky wall on the side of a mountain or canyon) or bridge while tied to a long elastic rope that pulls them back up and does not let them fall to the ground. They might try jumping out of an airplane or a helicopter while it is in the air, opening a "parachute" (a large piece of fabric that fills with wind and slows down a falling object) before they hit the earth.

Some adrenaline junkies prefer to get their adrenaline rush by "propelling" (making something move forward) their body at high speed. "Downhill skiing" (going down a snow-covered mountain with two long, flat pieces attached to one's feet), "bobsledding" (going down a very steep, icy path in a long, round vehicle), or car racing are all exciting, dangerous activities that allow people to move very quickly.

Other adrenaline junkies use "wild animals" (animals living in nature, not in zoos or in homes) to get an adrenaline rush. For example, they might go swimming with "sharks" (very large fish that swim in the ocean and sometimes attack people), maybe in a "cage" (a protective box made of large metal poles with space between them).
