What is the toughest sport. Ten most dangerous sports. Video about the most dangerous sports

just for lulz...

Calcio Storico Fiorentino (Florentine historical calcio) is without a doubt the most violent sport on earth. Its name comes from Italian and means "historic football". However, it really is something like football. Teams consist of 27 players, but the match is more like a big fight. Any technique is allowed here, except for blows and kicks to the head. This means that strikes to other parts of the body and chokes are common in every match. Matches in this kind of "sport" are held in Italy, and only for those who are well trained and prepared. It's really a brutal sport.

I propose to look at this sport in more detail ...

Every year Florence hosts an unusual tournament in which teams play something that is a mixture of football, rugby, gladiatorial combat and modern wrestling. In this kind of football in Florentine style in Italy they have been competing since the Middle Ages.

The rules are simple - there are 27 people in each team, the ball can be dribbled with hands and feet, while hits by the opponent (head, hands, feet) and chokes are allowed. Punches to the groin and head are prohibited. The goal is to score and score as many goals as possible. The match starts at the signal of the cannon and lasts 50 minutes. The game is not interrupted, even if one of the opponents gets injured. Substitutions are not allowed.

Here is what blogger godfrua writes about it:

This sport completely reverses the average person's idea of Italians as calm, balanced people. No other game evokes such a release of tosterone in the participants, and so many emotions in the audience. I think the only reason why this sport has not yet become widespread is its high injury rate.

In Italian, the word "calcio" means a kick, a blow. The Florentine calcio is essentially an early form of modern football and rugby. This harsh game, according to historians, appeared in the Middle Ages, presumably at the end of the 13th century.

In the 15th century, calcio games were played so often that some matches were even organized in winter, regardless of the weather. For example, there is a known case of a match being held on the ice of the Arno River in 1490.

Frostbitten Florentines could not resist the temptation to play their favorite game even during the war. There is a known case when a match in Calcio took place in besieged Florence on February 17, 1530, despite the presence under the walls of the troops sent by Emperor Charles V to capture the city. Surely the emperor’s soldiers regretted that they did not have an extra ticket for the match.

Although the kings and emperors themselves were not averse to participating in the game. For example, in 1574, King Henry III of France took part in a Calcio match arranged in his honor while visiting Venice.

It is not known whose team won the match that day, but the phrase that the king uttered immediately after the match is known: "This is too little for war, but too cruel for the game."

In the 16th century in Italy, this sport receives a permanent residence in Florence and flourishes here in all its glory.

Matches are played twice a year in Plaza Santa Croce. It is here that this sport becomes known as the Florentine calcio or simply calcio, in fact, firmly carving out a niche for the predecessor of modern football in Italy.

The ball for the calcio-triangulum was made of leather stuffed with goat hair. The game itself was played on a playground covered with sand about 50 by 100 meters in size. Although in such a sport as calcio the size of the field is not particularly specified, the main criterion was its multiplicity.

The chronicles say that initially the nobles played the calcio. This type of game was called triangulum or harpastum. These two names come from the times of the Roman Empire. As a rule, triangulum games were played in the evenings, between Epiphany and Great Lent.

However, it soon dawned on the nobles that the players quickly ended from frequent games and they began to actively involve their servants and peasants of strong physique in the matches. In fact, these were the first attempts to form professional football teams.

The treatises say that the length of the field should be twice the width. The center of the field was indicated by a white circle - the place of the throw-in. With a white chalk line, the field was divided into two identical squares, a grid was installed on each side for the entire width.

After some time, the first specialized sports literature on the Florentine calcio began to appear. So, in the middle of the XIV century, the Italian Antonio Scaiano published a Treatise on the Ball Game. In his work, he developed rules for resolving controversial issues in this sport.

However, the first official rules and tactics of the game were published later, in 1580 by Giovanni de' Bardi, Count of Florence.

In his treatise, in addition to laying out the rules, the author also recommends that readers do more physical exercises in order to better play calcio. In his opinion, swimming is better in summer, horseback riding in autumn, and wrestling in winter. According to de Bardi, the Calcio competitions themselves are best held in spring and autumn.

Another calcio manual of the 17th century can be viewed

Even the ministers of the Catholic Church also could not resist the pleasure of playing ball and fighting with fists. It is known for certain that Popes Clement VII, Urban VIII, and Pope Leo XI were considered good players in Calcio.

However, somewhere from the beginning of the 17th century, interest in Calcio in Italy began to gradually fade away, until in 1930 it was revived again at the suggestion of the authorities of the city of Florence. Since then, every year, as part of the city championship, three calcio matches are held in Piazza Santa Croce in Florence on the 3rd week of June.

Piazza Santa Croce has always been home to the game of calcio. Her images are found in all historical treatises on the game. Nowadays, the area is prepared for the game in advance, covering the hard surface with a pillow of sand to give the area the historical appearance that it originally had. Grandstands for spectators are also installed in order to recreate the authentic look of the arenas.

The matches themselves are always furnished with a medieval flair, and their brutality invariably attracts tourists and thrill-seekers to the city. Thus, the "footballers" do not experience a shortage of fans and fans.

Paying tribute to the medieval tradition, all players fight in historical costumes. Four teams from the historic districts of the city play against each other, first in two semi-finals, and then in the final match for the winner. The team from each district (quartiere) has its own name:

Santa Croce, blue; Santa Maria Novella, red; Santo Spirito, white; San Giovanni, The Greens.

Initially, which district fights which one is decided by lot. After playing each other in two open matches, the winning teams advance to the final.

The guys from the four districts have been preparing for these games for a whole year. And at the matches themselves, they try as best they can, defending the colors of their quartiere. No one is afraid of a cruel scuffle during the game, because the prestige of the district depends on them. And then the winners will be praised for a whole year in all institutions of Florence, savoring the nuances and ups and downs of the matches.

The final match is always played on June 24, the feast day of Florence's patron saint, Saint John the Baptist. This important day begins with a magnificent parade in historical costumes in Piazza Santa Maria Novella, which moves through the city center on the way to Piazza Santa Croce.

Needless to say, representatives of all four districts of the city participate in this grandiose parade. The procession starts about an hour before the final match and ends on the square in front of it, around 17:00.

In the modern version of calcio, tactics such as headbutts, punches, elbows, and choking are allowed. However, direct punches and kicks to the head are prohibited. Also, several players are prohibited from attacking one opponent at the same time. Any violation of these rules results in the removal of the offender from the game.

A whole calf is baked as a prize for the winning team, and the end of the championship ends with a grandiose evening fireworks display over the Arno River. But the most important prize for the winners is the love and appreciation of their area and fame and popularity among fans and tourists. Needless to say, any real male resident of Florence, no, no, yes, and dreams of being among those very frostbitten 27 members of the team of his area.

I would like to devote a little more time to the basic rules of the game in calcio. So, here they are. The match lasts 50 minutes. Each team has 27 players. There are no player substitutions, so knockout opponents give an advantage to the opposing team.

The duties of the players in the team are distributed as follows: four goalkeepers - datori indietro, three defenders - datori innanzi, five midfielders - sconciatori, fifteen forwards - innanzi corridori.

The captain and standard-bearer - alfiere, are under an awning in the center of the goal net. They do not take a direct active part in the game, but they can take part in refereeing

The match is judged by: the chief judge - giudice arbitro, six side judges - segnalinee and the owner of the field - giudice commissario, who remains off the field.

The supreme judge is Maestro di Campo. He ensures that the game runs smoothly, is involved in restoring order and maintaining discipline in the event of a fight on the field.

However, the entire match in Calcio is one continuous fight, so it is not known for certain when the maestro turns on the “fight” mode.

At the beginning of the match, the pallaio throws the ball towards the center line, then a shot from a medieval bombard is heard and the match begins.

From now on, by any means, the players try to put the ball into the opponent's goal. Players are allowed to use both feet and hands to control and shoot the ball into the net at the end of the floor.

Teams change sides after each goal scored. The team with the most goals scored or cacce wins.

Add to all this the fact that instead of the standard football uniform, players in the Florentine calcio use multi-colored medieval costumes, including, among other things, striped bloomers. And as a prize for the victory, the winning team receives not a cup, but a young calf, which it immediately roasts and eats, sharing the trophy with the fans

0 What is the most courageous, tough and dangerous sport for boys? Karate? Boxing? Hockey? Maybe rock climbing? Didn't guess. Figure skating.

This very extreme activity combines dancing, acrobatics and gymnastics. But when you make a mistake, you fall not on a soft mat, but fly at a speed of 40 km per hour into hard stone ice. The hockey player is all in armor like a small tank. A skater can't put on even the rudimentary protection that skateboarders wear. Few people know that during the jump, the skater receives an overload like an astronaut in a centrifuge. The speed of rotation with a triple sheepskin coat is like that of an automobile wheel at 50 km per hour. And the drum of the washing machine during the spin cycle. You can lose consciousness inadvertently. And although figure skating is associated with images of girls in the mind of the viewer, this sport is tough and cruel, not at all feminine. Especially for boys...

In football, if you get hurt, you can lie on the grass. And then wait for the doctor. In figure skating, you have to rise at any cost - the music is on and the program must be skated. Otherwise, you will be out of the competition. So you have to endure the pain and perform as if nothing happened.

Falls

To understand what figure skating is, let's get acquainted with one of the boy skaters. Our hero is now 12 years old, he has the first adult category, which is quite satisfactory. However, at twelve, many boys become candidates for masters.

Our kid went on the ice when he was five. It is believed that a skater should start at the age of four. Later is usually useless. Yes, and he got into figure skating by accident - on the recommendation of doctors, to correct his shaky health.

When he turned eight, it was very difficult and very painful to master the first serious jumps. It was then, after another workout, he exclaimed through tears, “Mom, why didn’t you find the sport easier? Would give me to some hockey!

In fact, for learning jumps, there are special protective shorts with a thick layer of foam rubber. In these pants, the child looks more like Cheburashka. Or Winnie the Pooh. And girls in shorts learn jumps. But the boys believe to use protection below their manhood. Although jumping for boys is much more difficult. Because the boys often come home all bruised, when neither sit down nor lie down ...

Training takes place twice a day. I had to drop out of school last year. In fact, figure skaters rarely go to school, they get by with external studies. But our hero selflessly tried to keep up. As long as there were forces.

At the age of nine, they began to prepare the first serious program. If you have watched figure skating, you know that there is a short program and a free program. Our hero's program did not work from the very beginning. Difficulties with music, difficulties with plasticity. Then the idea came up - we need not just a set of jumps and figures, as is usually the case. We need a real dance number, a kind of theater on ice. It helped, the unique Chaplin program was born, which is not a shame to show in adult ballet.

Then I had to change coaches. There were only girls in the group. And it was required that there were boys. Girls can whine, act up, roll empty circles. Boys don't allow themselves to do that. They are drawn to each other, there is a kind of struggle - who can do it better and cooler.

A new coach means a new program anyway. Now the task is to learn one of the complex triple lutz and triple toe loop combinations. And then the turn of the trixel will come - an axel in three turns. Axel is scary because in fact the skater does half a turn more. Girls do not learn trixel at all, but for boys such an element is required. Well, of course, again - booty on the ice. Twenty times a day.

The biggest problem is that there is no time at all. For nothing else. Even in summer vacation - and that is only three weeks. The rest is sports fees. And sometimes you want to be like everyone else. Hang out, play. If you go to the page of any skater kid, you will find anything there, except for figure skating. They don't seem to be proud of their accomplishments at all. They don't want any fame. Or even hide their affiliation to the big sport. Maybe stereotypes work here too: is figure skating a woman's occupation? And a real kid is a little ashamed to be a figure skater? Or is it just a desire to be the most ordinary boy even on the network?

They are children who have paid an extremely high price for their skill. Received it in exchange for childhood. But you should not feel sorry for them - whoever has tried such a life will not want another.

We treat children's sports with some disdain. Who is interested in children's boxing? Who will go to watch the junior football championship? Here you will not see a high-class game, it is not spectacular. High class in sports is the main thing. Let them grow up first, reach the heights of mastery. Only then competitions become interesting to the general public. And to watch the kindergarten swarming on the field - thank you.

All this is true, if we are not talking about figure skating. By the age of 12-13, skater kids are able to perform no worse than adults. And often even better. Because they can do tricks on the ice that no adult is capable of. And they do not allow children to participate in big sports for completely different reasons - such loads are dangerous for their fragile joints and spines. Big sport knows no pity. Save the child - you will lose the competition. Therefore, we save.

But what a pity to see empty stands at the performances of little masters. It turns out that nobody needs them. All the amazing beauty of their art is fleeting and will disappear, unclaimed by anyone but their parents. Moreover, growing up, the majority will leave skating, only a few become champions ...

If girls in figure skating are still small women, then it is wrong to say about boys that they are only future men. Boys skating is as much a separate art form as singing. There is a special direction in art - boyish choral performance. There are world-famous choirs and soloists. Tours of such choirs are scheduled for a year ahead, the halls are sold out, composers write music especially for boyish voices. What prevents boyish skating from taking its rightful place in the gallery of classical art?

Maybe this:

“I would like the ISU to break this “technical” beauty! Where is the grace, both feminine and masculine? Honestly, I'm tired of wooden jumping guys, chaotically waving their hands pretending to be choreographed... And the girls??? A sort of mechanical wind-up pupae that look like clones. Look at the set of jumps, spins, etc. and so on. the top three - like a blueprint! Who will jump over whom and show a big stretch. New rules for 2015-2018 are often discussed on Tulup, nowhere, in my opinion, are the requirements for the same jumps, graceful execution, cleanliness of lines, of course, this may sound utopian, but we often forget that our sport used to be called the Art of Skating on skates. I would like to have more ART, then there will be more memorable programs. So many young talented choreographers! But it makes no sense to put on interesting programs, anyway they will be cut for jumping. I do not pretend to be right, I argue like a parent, so to speak, a voice from the crowd!(taken from the forum for parents of the site tulup.ru)

All this is true when it comes to adults. But children just do much better with the program when they are in character, when their program is also a dance, and not just a set of jumps.

I remember that in 1975 and 76 our viewers were fascinated and shocked by the Canadian figure skater Toller Cranston, who delighted not so much with technique as with amazing artistry. His free program "Pagliacci" is still almost the standard of sports dance on ice. When I was collecting materials for this article, I was amazed - boy skaters aged 12-14 perform no less amazing dance numbers than a Canadian. It's the boys, not the adults. In some ways, figure skating is easier for boys, since 30 kg is easier to throw into the air than 60. And the boys use their advantage to the fullest not only in technique, but also in artistry, for which adults sometimes do not have the strength and time.

Ilya Skirda, demonstration performances

This is a performance at the Russian stage of the Grand Prix, and this is very cool, since Ilya is only 13 years old. He does not yet have the right to participate in adult competitions, this is a demonstration program. But what he did on the ice - a triple lutz plus a triple toe loop - not every adult will decide on such a complex cascade in exhibition performances ...

Evgeny Semenenko, "Jackson"

Zhenya is only 12 years old, but what an amazing composition. How much expression, teenage rebellion in every movement! That this is just a boy, you understand only after the performance, when you see him next to adults.

Junior champion Zhenya, who defeated older opponents

If you watch a recording of the performance of some of our champions, for example, Plushenko or Yagudin, you will immediately notice that they danced a little, then the image ended, they jumped, then they entered the image again, moved, then jumped again ...

The boys do not have such gaps, their performance is a single whole, a real number, which almost does not interfere with jumps.

Georgy Kunitsa, free program

All these boys are part of the Russian national team, but apart from specialists, hardly anyone has heard of them. I think the way society does not notice young skaters is just a feature of our culture. Despite the constant cry about “children are the flowers of life”, on an emotional level, they are only needed by their parents.

And now a few words about the parents of young skaters need to be said. If you are going to send your child to figure skating, then you should know that this will be a real job for you. And not the second, but the first. Probably, no occupation of a child requires such inclusion of parents in his life. Of course, it's a thrill to share with your child all the sorrows and joys, victories and disappointments, to live one life with him and literally breathe the same air. Constantly admire his performances. Help in everything - from finding music and tailoring costumes to overcoming complexes. Parents get hooked on this buzz like a good drug. The departure of a child from figure skating is a tragedy, a real break. And now, by inertia, these unfortunate people continue to hang out on the forum, give advice to novice mothers and sigh heavily - after all, all this is no longer for them ...

But back to our hero. This year is decisive for him. We need to roll out a new program. Pass the norm of the candidate for the master. It will soon become clear whether a champion will come out of our boy, or we will have to give up skating. Of course, there is ballet on ice, there are dance ensembles, where the figure skater will be taken with open arms. But it's not that, not that ... Let's wish him good luck from the bottom of our hearts!

And now meet the hero, Andrey Mirin, 12 years old

June 10th, 2018

I propose to look at this sport in more detail ...

Here is what blogger godfrua writes about it:

It is not known whose team won the match that day, but the phrase that the king uttered immediately after the match is known: "This is too little for war, but too cruel for the game."

In the 16th century in Italy, this sport receives a permanent residence in Florence and flourishes here in all its glory.

However, the first official rules and tactics of the game were published later, in 1580 by Giovanni de' Bardi, Count of Florence.

Another calcio manual of the 17th century can be viewed

Santa Croce, blue; Santa Maria Novella, red; Santo Spirito, white; San Giovanni, The Greens.

Initially, which district fights which one is decided by lot. After playing each other in two open matches, the winning teams advance to the final.

The captain and standard-bearer - alfiere, are under an awning in the center of the goal net. They do not take a direct active part in the game, but they can take part in refereeing

The match is judged by the chief judge - giudice arbitro, six side judges - segnalinee and the owner of the field - giudice commissario, who remains off the field.

The supreme judge is Maestro di Campo. He ensures that the game runs smoothly, is involved in restoring order and maintaining discipline in the event of a fight on the field.

However, the entire match in Calcio is one continuous fight, so it is not known for certain when the maestro turns on the “fight” mode.

From now on, by any means, the players try to put the ball into the opponent's goal. Players are allowed to use both feet and hands to control and shoot the ball into the net at the end of the floor.

Teams change sides after each goal scored. The team with the most goals scored or cacce wins.

For many action films, box-office successes provide action scenes rich in gore and gore. But sometimes they look too fantastic.

Therefore, it is much more interesting to see how combat skirmishes look in reality. Especially if these are the most brutal types of martial arts, whose list was made by M PORT.

1. Irish fistfight

It is also called gypsy fight. Something similar to a spontaneous drunken fight in a provincial pub. The rules are so primitive that they are most often forgotten altogether. Fights can take place anywhere. The main thing is that it should be in harmony with the pictures of bloodied jaws and the sounds of huge fists hitting.

2. Stick fighting

This sport has been around since 1995. Fighters in metal protective masks come out to an improvised platform, limited by a crowd of exalted public. Then the real mesilovo begins, and the duel is just beginning with sticks. Further, as the battle develops, legs, fists, foreheads and other parts of the body are used.

3. Bear fights

In fact, this semi-sports spectacle with the participation of an animal and a person arose in Russia back in the 16th century. But due to the shortage of bears in modern Europe, it was replaced by more "civilized" bullfights. True, bullfighting is already a thing of the past. But the famous run of the bulls in the Spanish Pamplona, perhaps, will tickle the nerves of thrill-seekers for a long time to come.

4. Combat arm wrestling

The appearance of a combination of arm wrestling, freestyle wrestling, boxing, kickboxing and just fighting without rules was predetermined. The creatives added a cool “pepper” to the classic and boring arm wrestling. As a result, we have a gambling and dynamic sport. In which, anyway, the main thing is to be the first to “put” the opponent’s hand.

5. Combat

Two teams meet on the court in a hand-to-hand battle for possession of a small stick. With this projectile, they must hit the "gate" - the same stick hanging on the opponent's side. You can pick up the stick by any available means - boxing, kickboxing, wrestling. For each defeat of the target and various types of hits on the players of the opposing team, the corresponding points are awarded.

6. Mixed Fights (UFC)

They also have an unofficial name - "human cockfights." Anything is allowed here - you can grab an opponent by the hair, hit him in the balls, kick him in the jaw. You can even come up with new tricks in the course of the battle. The main thing is to force the enemy to surrender.

7. Taser fights

The same kickboxing, but with sensitive nuances. Such here are small police stun guns attached to the gloves of the fighters. Naturally, such a fight becomes literally even more electrified - both for the spectators and especially for the athletes.

The content of the article:

Each person finds something to his liking. Some people like to spend their days tinkering with cars or bikes in the garage, others spend a lot of time playing computer games, and someone cannot see life without playing sports. Some sports pose a serious danger to health and even life. Meet - the most dangerous sports - TOP-10.

The most dangerous sports - TOP-10

10th place - rafting

Review of the most dangerous sports - TOP-10, we will start with the last meta, where rafting is located. Not all visitors to our site are familiar with this sport. It is a rafting (small rafts) on mountain rivers. The most dangerous here are the rapids, which are usually divided into five categories according to the level of difficulty. If you want to go rafting. It is worth remembering the potential danger to health, and sometimes life.

Here are some of the most common dangerous situations in this sport discipline:

Injury- when a raft crashes into a stone at high speed or fails to pass the threshold well, you can get a severe bruise, fracture or even lose consciousness.
Siphon- this word means an obstacle when the stream completely goes under the rock. If a person gets into a siphon, where he is jammed, then the chances of salvation become minimal.
Foot hook- the greatest danger is the hook on a swift stream. When trying to stand up, the athlete is covered with water and there is a high risk of drowning.
Getting under the raft- these are quite frequent situations during the rafting and it is important not to start to panic.

9th place - surfing

Surfing is known to many and on TV it seems very exciting. Professional surfers travel the planet in search of the biggest waves. Of course, this sport makes the body release large doses of adrenaline. Perhaps you think that there is nothing dangerous in surfing, and you are mistaken. Let's look at the most dangerous situations that are not uncommon in this sport:

Dangerous head and limb injuries- since surfing is associated with the conquest of high waves, it is considered and not without reason. One of the most dangerous sports. If the athlete could not stay on the board, then a strong wave may well hit him on the bottom.
sharks- professionals rarely pay attention to their safety and may be in those places where these bloodthirsty predators hunt.
adrenaline addiction- all sports that are associated with the release of adrenaline can be considered dangerous. A person quickly gets used to the sensations that cause high doses of this hormonal substance and after that is no longer able to stop.

8th place - football

This may seem strange, because almost all the boys in different countries of the planet play football. However, it is a contact sport and professional footballers are often injured. Scientists conducted a study and found that during one season, football players receive an average of 200 injuries of varying severity. Even minor injuries, such as bruises and abrasions, were taken into account. It should also be recalled about other dangerous factors that lie in wait for the players on the field:

Death- it is not uncommon for the body to fail to withstand the loads and the athlete dies during training or even during the match. First of all, it concerns the cardiovascular system.
Injuries from heavy objects- Football fans are notorious for their aggressive actions and athletes can be harmed by objects thrown by fans.
Head injury- in the air struggle for the ball, head collisions of two football players often occur, as a result, concussions of varying severity are possible.

7th place - hockey

Another extremely popular sport in our country, the high injury rate of which is quite well known. And hockey in this matter is much superior to football. The teeth of hockey players are very often affected. A thrown puck flies at high speed, and even a protective mouth guard is not always able to prevent injuries. All hockey fans are waiting for brawls between hockey players, as they consider them one of the elements of the game. However, this can lead to various cuts or concussion. Needless to say, how severe an injury can be after a player meets a borough. In hockey, situations are not uncommon when an athlete cannot leave the site on his own.

6th place - rock climbing

This is quite a spectacular sport, but it is extremely dangerous. Surely you yourself understand what dangers a climber is exposed to. If you start listing them all, then a lot of time will be spent. Most athletes do not even pay attention to such trifles as abrasions and bruises. But the fact that there is always a risk of falling should not be forgotten. Another dangerous factor is the lack of prompt assistance.

5th Place - Rodeo

This sport is very popular only in some countries of the world. However, this fact does not reduce the danger of rodeo for a person. According to statistics, about 80,000 injuries, including deaths, are recorded in this sport throughout the year. Imagine what the statistics would be like if rodeo was as popular as, for example, football! Just to sit on the back of a bull, you need to have great courage.

4th place - diving

This is a very popular sport that provides an opportunity to contemplate the beauty of the underwater world and, even with a good combination of circumstances, communicate with the "locals". Unfortunately, sometimes such encounters can be fatal. Among the main hazards, we note:

Marine Predators- the underwater world is indescribably beautiful and at the same time just as dangerous. There are many predators hiding in the depths of the sea, and the matter is not limited to sharks alone. Some marine life can inject poison that paralyzes a person.
Problems with equipment operation- one of the most dangerous troubles that can lie in wait for a diver at depth. If help does not come in time, then death cannot be avoided.
barotrauma- Ascent to the surface is a rather complicated process. At this time, you can not hold your breath, as well as fill your lungs with plenty of air. Otherwise, the lung tissue can tear and damage the blood vessels. Pressure drops are a serious danger to the body. This is how smoothly we approached the top three most dangerous sports in our TOP-10.

3rd place - cave diving

If you still consider diving a fairly safe sport, then with cave diving the situation is completely different. Athletes do not just dive into the water, but travel through caves, in which a lot of dangers can lurk. Here are just a few of them:

A lot of predators live in the caves, and they will not be happy with uninvited guests.
Equipment failures can lead to death.
If a diver gets stuck or lost, the risks of death increase dramatically.

2nd place - heliski

Not every person has even heard this word, not to mention familiarity with this sport. Of course, only courageous people who can demonstrate outstanding skiing skills can do it. First, the athletes board a helicopter that takes them to the mountain peak. Note that none of the athletes are familiar with the surface on which they have to move out.

The result is impossible to predict. What surprises await them under the snow. Do not forget about the possibility of snow avalanches, which are almost impossible to escape in the mountains. It is more likely that athletes will face completely impassable terrain and need to find a way out in order to survive.

1st place - base jumping

Meet the leader of the TOP 10 most dangerous sports - base jumping. This word should be understood as jumping from ground objects. It can be a mountain, a bridge, a skyscraper, etc. One of the main hazards is the opening time of the parachute. If this is done late, the athlete will die. In addition, there is a high risk of getting tangled in the slings, and in this case the outcome is death. It should also be remembered that the athlete after the jump is forced to be near the object. You have probably already understood yourself that there is a high probability of a collision, the outcome of which is not difficult to predict.

Other dangerous sports

We have completed our TOP 10 most dangerous sports. However, their list can be continued for a long time. We will limit ourselves to a few.

Rugby

This sport is popular in some countries, for example, New Zealand, Australia, England. Compared to football. Rugby involves more frequent contacts between athletes. In such a situation, the risk of fractures increases dramatically. We will not even remember about abrasions and bruises.

Golf

For some, this will come as a surprise, because people associate golf with the rest of aristocrats. What can be dangerous in walking around the field and hitting the ball? It turns out that there are dangerous factors in golf, and injuries in this sport are common. About 900 people die each year on golf courses, according to official statistics.

charleading
