It is a long shot to call this a sport, but it definitely is extreme. People who do extreme ironing go to a remote location and iron clothes! Really. They call themselves 'ironists', and get a thrill from taking their ironing board, unplugged iron and some of their wrinkly clothes to some extreme places and photograph themselves doing it.
Why do extreme ironing, you may ask? People might try extreme ironing for the thrill and novelty of combining a mundane household chore with adventurous activities in unusual and often extreme locations. It offers a unique way to experience an adrenaline rush and challenge yourself, while also creating memorable and humorous moments to share with others.
Extreme places that they ironists have reached include very high altitude, underwater, hanging from cliffs, and on top of vehicles.
Please do the ironing, but don't try these extremes at home.
