I used to watch this quite a bit when i was younger, well mostly on Saturday evenings (cause that was when it was on. Even though the title said DON'T try this at home I always had the secret urge to Want to do the things presented on the show.

I think this show was quite dangerous as it used reverse psychology on you. If your told not to do something, it makes you want to find out why maybe the producers wanted people jumping off bridges and lying on nails? (who knows?)
