More people die in bull riding than cheering. Really think this logically, even if you don't play the sport.
Cheer leading the " MOST DANGEROUS SPORT IN THE WORLD? " No, really, I don't even think its a sport. Sure, it hard work, but your mostly just cheering for my team. Whats the point to that? Your the half time entertainment, or the hot chicks during the football half time. Sure, you do flips and you can fall and get hurt, but another other sport can get just as much (or even more) injured. Your practices? I'm pretty sure there a harder practices than your cheer leading practices. If it is to be a sport, it should not be the top. They should make a new list that can be made by professionals not by which-ever amount of people who play a certain sport that are online.
Also, for those who say soccer shouldn't be on the list, its just as aggressive as any other sport. We don't have any protection besides shin guards. There is a lot of more rough contact trying to get that ball. Believe me. And Rugby shouldn't be last, its like football with out padding!

We all know why cheer is number one, and it is because cheer is the popularity good looks sport, and if anyone took the time to really look at the order of this list, they would see that gymnastics is clearly the HARDEST SPORT BY FAR, AND BY ANY MEANS, and anyone with common sense that puts away there bias towards "hot girls" will see that gymnastics truly is the hardest sport.
DANGEROUS AND PAINFUL ALL THE TIME
Sorry for my English, it is bad :-).

More comments about MountaineeringYou must open the pursuit at the right angle, time and place if you want to stay alive, then, you must control your para-suit so that you land in the right spot.
The landing is also very dangerous as well, you could get seriously injured.
Splits
Back handsprings
Aerials
Leg extensions
Back flips
10 fouttes in a row
Calypsos
Switch leaps
Etc...
Mountain climbing should also included in this list

More comments about RacingIf you fall cheer leading you might hurt yourself, fall from over 1000ft (see yosemite free climbing) and your body won't be recognisable.
It just happened to be that her older sister fell and her knee cap went to the side of her knee she has been out for the whole basketball season and is now seeing special people to get it fixed
A toe.
This sport really should be in the top ten. Now, I can see how there are more dangerous sports around(ex. : sky diving). But one of the main reasons skaters don't usually get too serious of injuries is because they train. The first step in the sport is learning to balance and not fall! Falling is like a trick; if you land it right, you won't have much trouble getting back up.

I've been skating for a few years now and have had a broken toe broken angle and even was busted open this sport should be in the top 15 if not in the top TEN because if your doing the smallest grind still so much stiff could go wrong even if you do a tiny jump and land a wrong way you could have serious injuries its so under rated just because you see 5-8 year old girls the stuff older people do on skate is mad I'm shocked that this is even under top fifty and when this gets to ten or fifteen this list will at least a little more fixed up
you haven't played such a demanding sport
until you have played water polo.
you sit and tread water for four eight minute quarters.
I'd like to see you guys try
to get half your body out of the water,
by just using you legs.
and... So much goes on under the water.
hitting, pinching, grabbing, kicking, twisting of the wrists and suit.
I mean it really sucks.
people don't think its that bad.
because I bet half of you don't even know what it is.
like if all you football players complain about how hard you work,
I wanna see you last one water polo game let alone a practice.
it involves constant swimming and treading
you have to propel half your body out of the water
and you get pummeled underneath the water, since the ref can't see and all low blows are legal
i did a speach on this and at the end I had convinced my entire class and at that moment I had not been aware of the fact that people have died from the injuries they have sustained in water polo
not to mention the elbowing in the neck you recieve and then a kick to the gut not only can you not breath your winded too trust me had it done it's really really not great I passed out!

A criterium, a style of Road Racing going around a square city block is much more dangerous than dance. You have over 20 people at minimum moving around at 25 MPH and you are close enough to the other racers that you can touch them. If one person puts the brakes on to hard, the whole group is on the concrete. How is that less dangerous than dance?
Have you ever had a car try to run you over? Then giant trucks fly past you just a few feet beside you. Tons of steel versus a rider? Cheerleading is that dangerous?
The art of the 8 limbs is considered to be one of the most deadliest forms of martial that utilizes 8 human body parts-Fists, Elbows, Knees, and Shins. This should definitely be in the top ten.
Thai boys training from they are 6 to adult, then getting knocked out with knees to the face has got to be a damn dangerous sport. How can you even argue against it, especially if you have seen them clinch, which is even considered "irty" in regular boxing. This should be in top 5.
Espiacilly Muay boran. Its traditonal muay thai and even more brutal, there were techniques putted out of muay thai like kicking at the back of the head etc. Well in muay boran its allowed

More comments about Muay Thai BoxingYou could also get in the eye with the ball if your not careful.
I just want you to know that it can be dangerous, maybe not all the time but yes it can be dangerous just like anything else can be. All I'm asking is you keep it in mind!
DON NOT DIS THIS SPORT! Ok that's all I have.. Bye

Archery is a real dangerous sport and should be number 20... You mess up your positioning of arrow and bam the arrow flies somewhere else and you kill some one... Even with field tips
I would like to hear a sport that's more dangerous. In 2008 three pilots were killed in crashes.
These are highly modified, incredibly fast planes that fly in excess of 500MPH, and fly from 15 to 40 feet off the ground. (That's how fast they fly on the course. These prop-driven airplanes are fast enough to break the speed of sound! )
From 6 to 12 planes fly in any one race at a time and they come within feet of eachother at speeds from 450 to 500 MPH's. There have been dozens of fatal crashes over the years in Reno and Mojave. (Mojave has since been discontinued because no one will insure the event. )
In 2008, one pilot crashed right after takeoff. A woman pilot died after her engine blew and she was attempting an emergency landind. And another pilot was killed when two Formula One planes collided in mid air. The second pilot survived while the other pilot, named Hubler nosed over and flew straight into the ground and disintigrated. (Also, two pylon judges were injured after being hit by the debris. )
As far as injuries, I think bull riding is the worst sport. But I would say that pylon air racing is easily the most deadliest sport in the world.
1. Pylon Air Racing.
2. Free Diving.
3. Bull Riding.
These pilots are crazy!
For Cricket in general -
When you're a batsman, being bowled at 100mph is not comfortable even when you are wearing helmets and pads. Forget full toss, full length or half volley. You can deal with them. Bouncers on the other hand are very difficult to deal with. Have seen many people get in the head and get cuts and knocked out (Yes. Even with the helmet on).
And don't forget the bowler and fielders I.E. short leg, mid on, mid off ( fielders around/near the batsman). They particularly need to have a quick reaction. Late reaction could be fatal.
There is stuff like padding, but the ball travels average 149 kilometers an hour, and you are left standing there. Plus when you field, the ball is high in the air, what if it hits your face!
Shinty is a team sport played with sticks and a ball. Shinty is now played mainly in the Scottish Highlands, and amongst Highland migrants to the big cities of Scotland. similair to hockey but the hard ball can be played in the air like lacrosse! the players wear no protection so often end up with head injuries and the stick can be swung like a baseball bat so often causes injury! players can also physically tackle other players using shoulder barges ect!

Goat tying is really hard on ankles and knees when getting off. But it is such a rush that you can't stop! I love goat tying, but truthfully I think that is why my ankles and knees hurt all the time.
A friend of mine got the birdie in the eye and had to go to the hospital! If he had arrived 2 hours later he would have lost his eye. He did need surgery.
Mph, 70, 80 mph. No seatbelts(unless you race in champ karts. ) you can get hurt so
Easily. Sometimes over 30 karts racing at once. Try saying kart racing is stupid and
Not fast or dangerous. HA! Yeah this is an extremely dangerous sport.
Although bouldering is relatively safe, it deserves to be above badmiton, people falland break bones, dislocate knees, not to mention the strain on your tendons can be so severe you can't hold yourself off the ground. The crash pads can only do so much to protect you.
Not many outside of Europe knows about handball. Its kind of like soccer just with your hands. I have played handball for 10 years and I have gotten a concussion, my shoulder out of place twice, pulled my thumb and fractured many of my fingers. Handball is a tough sport where there is a lot of physical contact and a handball player don't wear a lot of protection just on your knees when you jump to score.
I got hit by a ball and went to hospital and now I can't have children. My friend (Croney) got a broken leg from playing ping pong, weird but true.
