danger zones
Places risking harm
Danger zones are areas where risk is elevated—whether from physical hazards, military activity, or other threats.
The term often appears in safety contexts: The construction site was marked as a danger zone.
Figuratively, it describes any risky territory: We're entering a danger zone with this conversation.
The 1986 Kenny Loggins song made the phrase synonymous with aerial combat and high-stakes adventure.
