adventurechick 0 #1 December 24, 2006 I was doing a search online to find out a list of what the most dangerous sports are for my own curiosity. I've come to the conclusions that most Americans think their sport is the most dangerous sport. I found articles stating that cheerleading, golf, football, basketball, ect. were the most dangerous sports. It seemed a bit ridiculous. I don't know of many basketball players and cheerleaders who have trouble getting Life insurance. I don't know why BASE jumping or cave diving didn't make it in some of these lists... is it because there are a smaller amount of people doing them? What do you think are the most dangerous sports worldwide? PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy_Copland 0 #2 December 24, 2006 Skydiving! Seriously though, any sport can be as dangerous as you make it. We make choices about safety (no i wont mention RSL's!) and we live by our actions. The recent death of one guy points this out, he was expecting a kid so he practically gave up BASE jumping. Died ice climbing. 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
