From the smoke jumpers who parachute into wildfires, to roller coaster addicts chasing the latest death-defying rides, humans have a fascination with danger. Daredevils run with bulls in Pamplona, swim with great whites in Capetown, and throw themselves off the cliffs of Acapulco. Meanwhile, the TV event known as ‘Shark Week’ celebrates its thirtieth year of blockbuster ratings – suggesting that even people who stay on their couches like to imagine living on the wild side. The ‘Ultimate Danger’ series will bring the world’s most perilous jobs and hobbies, places and events, and bugs and beasties right to your library’s door.
