The most dangerous sport
Not so long ago, parachuting from a height of about 6 thousand meters or bungee jumping was considered the limit of danger and madness. But active athletes who lack adrenaline come up with new and dangerous sports. And today you will not surprise anyone with the sporting achievements that were 10 years ago.
Volcano boarding
Snowboard is yesterday. What the athletes didn’t invent, what they didn’t ride on. And finally! Humanity has waited for the moment when it can ride a volcano on a board. This sport is insane, interesting and exciting at the same time. The only place in the world where you can ride on the slopes of an active volcano is Nicaragua. This country has an excellent active volcano, especially for volcanic boarding.
Anyone can rush from the top of an active volcano on a special board. The height at which the athletes descend is 725 meters, and the speed they develop is 80 km / h. Adrenaline is enhanced by the knowledge that the volcano is active. A little more than 10 years ago was his last eruption. This will be a real adrenaline rush. It takes about 45 minutes to climb to the top of the volcano. The slope of the descent is steep and is 41 degrees. The risk of serious injury during such a trip at high speed is very high.
Streetlogging
Street lagging is a downhill ride along mountain roads. Extreme sportsman lays his back on a special skate, leans slightly forward and raises his head. This sport is very traumatic, and sometimes even crazy. That's because when driving on such a vehicle at high speed, there are no brakes. But this does not stop some athletes. This extreme sport in California was invented by crazy skaters. They lay on skateboards and raced down steep roads, gaining very high speed.
The aerobatics of this sport is riding on a road going sharply down, on which there are many cars. The athlete must dodge the cars until the end of the descent.
Rugby
This sport is very traumatic and as if specially created to visit the hospital as often as possible. The reason for this is the rules of the game themselves. In the rules of the game, power tricks in the form of pushing each other are allowed. And here it is not like in American football, when players are well equipped. In rugby, athletes have virtually no protection. Therefore, numerous fractures, muscle injuries, ruptures of ligaments, sprain are common in this wonderful sport.
According to statistics, on average, each player receives 3 minor injuries during the game. 25% of athletes get severe injuries in every match.
Golf
A seemingly innocuous sport gives doctors a lot of work. According to statistics, injuries and deaths from this sport, at least 900 people have already died on the golf course. After all, players can die even from lightning strikes during a thunderstorm. After all, the rules of this game require that the match does not interrupt even if a hurricane begins. And since the clubs used by metal players, on level ground they are very likely to receive lightning strikes.
The next moment of danger of this sport is hitting the balls in the head. Pretty weighty little ball, flying a distance of about 80 meters, becomes fatal, like a gun’s core. Broken joints, broken eyes, limb injuries, severe groin injuries, fractures and other injuries allowed this sport to appear in this rating.
Football
Along with its popularity, football is one of the most dangerous sports on earth.According to statistics, football players receive about 200 professional injuries during the year, which can vary in severity. Due to high physical exertion, deaths also occur in this sport. The reason for this is heart failure.
Lightning strikes, as in golf, also on the football field, are not uncommon. Fans often throw heavy objects that cause injuries to the football field during the game. Goalkeepers often have head injuries from hitting a goal post during a game.
Motorcycling
Severe bruises and bone fractures as a result of a fall from a motorcycle - this is not the whole list of injuries of this sport. In addition to physical injuries, the rider is subject to great mental stress. In addition, great physical activity due to the enormous centrifugal force puts the rider's body in great danger. All these factors greatly wear out the athlete’s body, damaging muscles, bones and internal organs.
From the heat of the protective suit, from the influence of constant stress on the body, the athlete loses about 5 kg of body weight during the competition.
Rodeo
80,000 is the number of sacrifices a rodeo makes annually. This is a huge number. And this despite the fact that this rodeo is not popular in every country, and in some countries they do not know at all about its existence. In addition to risks like horseback riding, in this sport there are still a great many factors that make it one of the most dangerous. While the athlete is trying to stay on the bull with one hand, his wrist is subject to tremendous stress. Therefore, severe dislocation of the wrists of the athletes of this sport is an ordinary injury. During a fall from a bull, athletes receive a variety of injuries. The fall of the hooves and horns of an aggressive animal supplement the fall. All this combination leads to terrible consequences.
Hockey
Hockey loses a little to football in world wide popularity, but decently wins in another - injury hazard. Lack of teeth and constant problems with them - this is just the tip of the iceberg from the injuries and injuries that the game presents to athletes.
Worldwide, hockey annually brings hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of serious injuries. This is the price of this sport with an incredibly high level of injury risk. The risk of life and health is present every second, when the athlete is on ice. Indeed, for hockey, everyday things are like hitting with a stick or puck, falling, mass fights, hitting an opponent and hooking.
Rock climbing
The very word climbing already speaks of serious danger. And there are many reasons for this. The main thing in this sport is a competent distribution of forces. Rising to the cherished goal is not all. You also need to go down. Many accidents occur due to underestimation of the difficulty of the descent. Athletes face dangers:
- frostbite of the limbs;
- hypothermia of internal organs;
- falls from a great height;
- dislocations;
- open injuries and fractures.
Diving in underwater caves
The statistics of this sport are disappointing. More than 8,000 people engaged in diving, draw up a lifelong disability. You need to have good health to engage in this sport. There should be no problems with the brain, lungs, heart. Being at a depth of 50-150 meters, in one of the dark caves the scuba diver is exposed to an incredible number of dangers - from inhospitable inhabitants to finding a way out of the labyrinths of caves.
