By "rush", I'm assuming you mean "scared shitless and think you are going to die". 
Which, in this case, would be when I dove into a lake to pull out my little brother who was drowning, only to have him grasp tightly around my neck to the point of strangling me, and pull me under the water. I thought I was going to die.
Maybe you should try being a super hero.

The greatest rush of adrenalin that I've felt in a non-life threatening situation woudl be first drumming circle that I participated in. I doubt it is what you are looking for.

How about bull riding. My son used to do it. Personally I think he's nuts, (takes after his sperm donor in that respect) but he says it was an incredible rush.

The last time I rode my horse and learned that Thoroughbreds can buck like bulls!

Re: Mega adrenalin rush
Van, A friend of mine had a big rush that wasn't too pleasant. His lover's husband broke down the door to the hotel room and threatened both of them with a shotgun. I'm sure that was a rush!

I was with my younger brother, we had been to Madison Square Garden to see Bob Dylan. He stopped to watch a guy doing a 3-card monte scam, and said "Hey, I can do that." Well I pulled him away after three or four five-dollars bills went down the toilet, and I was really pissed. So when I saw a cop car coming down the street, I went up to the window and told the cop what was going on. Stupid of me.
We got to the corner, and the look-out was waiting there, with one or two other guys. He pulled out a knife. He looked about 12-years old. (My hand's shaking here as I remember this--and it's every bit of twenty years ago.) I said, "Man--this is only gonna make it much worse. We're walking away now." I thought for sure I was gonna feel that knife in my belly, but we weren't bothered again.

By the way, is your thoroughbred a stallion, gelding or mare. A stallion can be a little rough.
An almost 4 yea old, completely psychotic mare. Gods, I love her!
She's more to handle than the stallions that I show... but neither of them have that kooky thoroughbred brain. One's a Morgan, one a Quarter. I'm breeding my mare to the Quarter, hoping for sanity.

It's The Fish I Tell Ya
Diving...Snorkeling, whatever. I am such a baby when it comes to that. I have this whole water fascination/fetish, but the fish, its the fish that scare the living shit out of me! Minutes after I go under my heart rate gets out of control, my breathing is erratic, sheer panic rushes though me.
