Default Is this sketchy-worthy?
I once defused a bomb on a bus that couldn't go below 50 mph without detonating. Should I put this on the sketch?

And if so, what section would it fall under? Extracurricular activity?

If your only payment was saving your own life, this would constitute volunteering and the verifiers would be the other lives you saved, provided you saved others too.

This is definitely not an EC unless you do this regularly, like once a week.

Definitely. Impressive. But I would leave out that whole "The Lake House" episode, or you'll be blacklisted right away.
