dangerous activities
Perilous things attempted
Activities that carry significant risk of injury, death, or other harm.
The phrase appears frequently in legal and insurance contexts, where it defines categories of behavior that may void coverage or require special waivers: The policy excludes dangerous activities like skydiving and rock climbing.
What qualifies varies by context—bungee jumping is dangerous for insurers, but crossing the street might be dangerous for a worried parent.
