That's just gotta' be the most silly-ass load of crap I've read in a long time.

A previous poster was right when he stated that you appear to have only a limited comprehension of English.
And that explains a lot.

"What we have here, is a failure to communicate!"

p.s. I known a few linguists that taught at the local uni. They would've laughed just as hard as I am.

 Richard,
 'adventure' is not an English word, and its meaning
 is not what the proposed dictionary says it is.
 It may be a minor point to you, but semantics and
 etymology are major areas of study within the discipline of
 Linguistics.
 No part of 'adventure' should include any mention
 of death, because that would make adventure a synonym for
 life.

 My apologies for tossing around

 my concept of the word "adventure" which is why I
 quoted from The American Heritage Dictionary.

  
 I am hoping that one of the sources I supplied is more
 acceptable than The American Heritage
 Dictionary.

 I'm
 afraid you are searching in vain, Tom. Mr. Chalik simply
 does not wish to understand. Because if he admitted to such
 understanding, that would undermine his position that a
 "certain death" misjump can't become a
 legitmate adventure.
 I
 also suspect that Mr. Chalik genuinely has difficulty
 comprehending written English, since he consistently (not
 just in this conversation but in others as well) seizes upon
 minor points and ignores major ones.
