Why are all the fun sports very obviously dangerous? (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

Like I get that all sports have some level of risk and injury. But for some it’s not as blatant for others, which can let you consider them as an option if you’re sometime who potentially is wanting to avoid super dangerous things due to past injuries I did artistic gymnastics, I did cheer, and I have also thought that rhythmic gymnastics and equestrian vaulting would be cool to do. Because what danger could there be with doing skills and poses on a moving horse right? Really hits the sweet spot of no obvious danger

What about hitting in the head in table tennis?

Concussion?

I mean everything is possible but I’m going to guess that the percentage of table tennis players getting conked in the head to the point of concussion isn’t very high

Violence is fun /j
I've always wanted to try gymnastics for the sole purpose of learning to back flip, but i only ever wanted to do it once i started high school and i was not at all flexible atp so it was too late. And I'm not completely fit either

If you don't know what you do even playing video games can be dangerous, sometimes deadly*.

Every sport needs knowledge, training ... and lack of selfoverestimation.

Sure but I’d hazard a guess that more people die or get very injured from gymnastics than video games by percentage of the people who participate

That could be the truth. The mortality rate in Chess tournaments seems to be rather low too.

The only sports i did was P.E and even than I would injure myself In flag football I literally fracture my finger

It's better for me to avoid sports altogether for my safety. I've been hit in the face more times than I can count, even when I wasn't playing! I was just near the area

I got hit in the face with a dodgeball in gym class once, and I wasn't even playing.
