It's a wild world out there -- one that can be as dangerous as it is breathtaking. Taking in some natural wonders are as safe as your own backyard (touring the California Redwoods, for example), while others, such as the incredibly scenic helicopter tours offered on Kauai, can prove to be deadly. That doesn't stop hundreds of people from boarding whirly birds to ogle some of the world's most awe-inspiring scenery, however, or driving or biking along a Bolivian highway that's so perilous it is literally known as "Death Road."
