From the players to the fans, it can be pretty interesting to see how a professional duel between expertly trained athletes turns out. But there’s also a dark side to sports. Severe injuries...and sometimes even death! Yes, in quite a number of sports, there’s a lot of physical contact involved, and I mean a lot. So much so that players have actually lost their lives doing the thing they love the most! With that being said, let’s look at 10 of the most dangerous sports in the world! From extreme sports to mixed martial arts, you won’t believe what our top pick for the most dangerous sport is! 10. Base Jumping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TMIi... If you imagine hurling yourself off of an airplane 15,000 feet and thinking, wow this is dangerous, then you my friend, have not met base jumping adrenaline junkies. For these guys, that ain’t challenging enough, apparently, and hence they choose cliffs and man-made objects like towers. Jumping from such heights may sound safe, but in reality, they tend to be trickier due to virtually no time available to deploy the parachutes or deal with any malfunctions that might occur. Base is actually an acronym for the type of objects people jump off. It can be anything from a building, the top of an antenna, a bridge or a cliff. The sport was first coined by Carl Boenish in 1978 and has grown in popularity since. Especially for those who love pushing themselves to the limit! I don’t know about you but I’d rather stay at home and casually enjoy my root beer and chips while watching a football game. 9. Horse riding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fgKp... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhTe9... Do you have hopes of becoming an equestrian some day in the future? Well, it might just be your death sentence. Sounds harsh, I know, but I’m just telling you as it is... I’m sure many of us have no idea that horseback riding also happens to be considered as a very dangerous sport? Fatal injuries and even deaths are caused every year by horse riding accidents. The most common cause of injury is getting trampled while on the ground near the horse. The hooves are very strong and dangerous and can easily deform your face or any soft cartilage in your body. Other injuries include getting thrown off your horse or fatal kicks while leading the horse into the paddock. So should you ever get that stallion you dreamed of, please do remember to exercise extreme caution….like really really be careful! 8. Scuba diving https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrkkQ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GswI5... Scuba diving is an underwater sport that’s gotten quite the following in America. This recreational sport involves using SCUBA; an apparatus that helps you to stay underwater for as long as possible so that you can sample marine life! While for some the allure of scuba diving lies in the charm of underwater life for others it’s the thrill of exploring a wreck or a cave. The danger in this sport chiefly lies in the changes in pressure. These changes in pressure could potentially rupture a lung, ear-drums or damage the sinuses. Prolonged exposure to high pressure gases can result in the build-up of nitrogen and helium in our blood stream which may lead to damage to tissues, blocking of small blood vessels or even shut down of blood supply! Other casualties could be due to failure of diving equipment. 7. Mixed Martials Arts (MMA) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWE79... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DomOX... As one of the most dangerous sports in the world, MMA involves pitting two well-trained lethal fighters against each other, and letting them slug it out until one fight gets submitted, knocked out, or overpointed by the other. Over the years, I’ve seen some pretty brutal knockouts by fighters that left me wondering; man, did this guy talk trash about his family? I mean, how do these guys even survive some of these kicks and punches? Nevertheless, there have been stricter safety measures put in place to ensure that fighters don’t get seriously injured while in the ring. 5. Bull riding Ain’t nothing more Western than riding the rodeo the longest….yeeehaaah! Yep, bull riding is a rodeo sport that involves staying mounted on a bull for as long as possible while the bull tries to buck off the rider. The very mention of mounting a 1000kg bull invokes jitters in many people; so I guess much needn’t be said about the dangers involved in the actual sport.
