Any Dangerous Sports?

[Baby 199 / 5,794]

Okay, so I'm curious. How many of you play or participate in a dangerous sport? I don't mean like football either. I mean sports that by the end of the day can end up getting you killed or injured pretty badly.

 

This question sparked up because this weekend I'm going to be racing a dirt bike for the first time. If any of you know what this is (probably not) Baja Brawl is where I'm racing. It's a big motocross event my family goes to every year. It's not going to be that dangerous because I'll be on the pitbike track, but when I race, I get aggressive. I want to show those who tell me, I can't do this or that wrong. I ride at my own leisure a lot too, but I've never actually raced. Wish me luck and let me hear about dangerous sports that you like to play!

I played hockey for quite a long time. Saw a girl get her jaw destroyed. She was in hospital for a few weeks with major head trauma. Does that count?

I took fencing lessons when I was little, but stopped when the lessons moved away from me.

I skateboard so injury is pretty common. Especially head ones. I filmed one of my friends attempting a 7 block https://twitter.com/_ktorgs/status/763216272033062912 he was fine btw but I wanted to show head injuries are also common.

One time when I was little I was trying a skateboard for the first time and I fell and was bleeding in my mouth

I ride my Motorcycle and cars gravitate to it..... but other than that I did some motocross years ago slammed into the side of a house after throttle got stuck and went down into a metal window well 134 stitches later back at it dangerous but fun. Paintballing and Hockey and Lacrosse are my main sports i stick with now.

Those head bangs indeed.

 

iirc, professional football players tend to have pretty nasty brain damage after they retire.

"Head bangs"? is that metal football? 

 

I do high lining. It's like slacklining but over canyons and deep mountain crevasses, with harnesses of course. (slacklining is a form of tight rope walking, but on a 1''-2'' strap, similar to a tow rope) and a few years back I was heavy into parkour. I put a stop to that though when I blew out my knee while practicing in a gym with those padded blocks. Too many injuries, too high impact of a sport for me :X

Playing space station 13 goon station servers. (And being an admin)

Chances of survival? You're all ready dead 

Chances are syndicates will nuke the stationand all the personal, xenomophs run rampent, some admin is playing as gandalf shooting fireballs and slaming people with a bus, half of the station is on fire, massive Bball haters cause a chaos dunk to occur, and frankly the amount of shit that hits the fan made nade me drink. Hell that was a normal round, ive seen peolple with some plasma, gas, and clever thinking produce 99 terawatts causing the entire station to catch on fire, anyone standing near anything electronic to be vaporized.

Wost game if you admin it.

To that effect, I play hockey (go figure), and my teammates shattered someones knee, and sent someone out on a stretcher for a concussion... Does That Count?

to back everyone else up. i've played hockey for 18 years. Broke plenty of peoples bones (was an enforcer) and had my wrist cut up, cutting an artery.

I sometimes go bouldering alone without any pads so that if I fuck up and fall I will probably break alot of bones out in the wild and die. (Bouldering is rock climbing a short distance <2m-5m> without any gear)
