Most dangerous sport?

[irishhurler]

to me its rugby then aussie rules then hurling and im talking about field sports i would have put down more options but i can only say 5 and tell me what ye think is the top 3

rugby

American football

hurling

aussie rules

hockey

[kheserthorpe]

While I've seen hurling, I don't know it well enough to compare to the others.

I believe American football is the worst, and its BECAUSE of the equipment. Rugby and aussie rules players are not taught to crash into people with their heads trying to pop the ball. They're well protected against minor injuries, but then hurl themselves at each other in ways that their spines can't handle.

[irishhurler]

ya i was thinking the same but rugby is still dangerous to the tv program

[nickstaa]

There are plenty of injuries big/small in rugby, this one a couple of months ago paralised someone unfortunately https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W-BmKXU12yE

[nickstaa]

Out of those ones it would be rugby or nfl, probably rugby because you don't have any pads to protect yourself and you constantly have to tackle much bigger players for a longer time period. In the nfl there's only about 11 minutes of free flowing action with rugby there's about 45 minutes. And even if you aren't taught to b tackle head first there are still plenty of injuries.

[RichardBoehner]

Parkour for sure.

One screw up and he would've been dead.

[irishhurler]

im talking about field sports like rugby football

[RichardBoehner]

in parkour the world is your field

[Falling4UTC]

Hurling man, you whip wooden sticks with metal bands in the air try to hit a ball that can tear human flesh open. Did I mention you have no protection when playing? It is sooo hurling.

[irishhurler]

you irish?

[Falling4UTC]

My dads whole family is irish and has been for generations aha :P

[irishhurler]

where are you from

[Falling4UTC]

Canada forever wishing I was born in ireland. I am getting my irish passport soon however :)

[irishhurler]

how you getting irish passport your Canadian

[Falling4UTC]

If your parent has a dual citezenship and passport (one being irish) you can get one :)

[irishhurler]

ok why you want the irish passport?

[Falling4UTC]

Because I also will get a dual citenzenship which means I am an irish citizen and also a Canadian citizen.

[irishhurler]

you can live in few countries now cause your European too

[Falling4UTC]

That will be great since I want to travel all around the world

[irishhurler]

ya same i mainly just want to go to spain and miami and get drunk in a hot place

[Falling4UTC]

I just want to perform all around the world and live life

[irishhurler]

you sing or what?

[Falling4UTC]

yup I infact dooo

[irishhurler]

you have a YouTube channel?

[Izzy2102]

I'd go with formel one racing. In fact any kind of motor racing

As for field sports, I'd say hockey

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB5iIX2BBMc

[irishhurler]

i dont really think hockey is that dangerous compared to hurling

[irishhurler]

whats the movie called i want to watch it now

[Izzy2102]

I've never seen a hurling game but I think just the speed of hockey makes it more dangerous. Just think of how many injuries you could get from ice skating alone, without other players

[Izzy2102]

it's a show, Blue Mountain State

[irishhurler]

speed of hurling the pitch is bigger than most sports the speed of the ball can go up to 100 mph but the reason i think hurling is more dangerous is less Armour

[Weirdguy24]

I'd agree and say rugby. I'm from SA where its played every weekend and yeah I know guys who's broken legs, arms, spines and such. There dont wear armor like the American football guys. Once a guy had a broken leg but because they had no replacement for him he had to finish the game with his broken leg.

[irishhurler]

ya but i have seen few guys getting knocked out in rugby i remember in one of our hurling matches when i was 12 or 13 one guy broke is spine from one of us

[Anonymous]

Professional Wrestling is the most dangerous sport in the world.
Not because they die, but the risks they take. I know some will say MMA is real so it's more dangerous, but MMA fighters do not put themselves into fire, chairs, tables, do not fall from cells, do not fall from 50 feet... It's really dangerous

[jakemiller1230]

Well I don't if its a sport auto racing but out of the ones you have hockey cause some dies and was brought back to life playing hockey.

[jakemiller1230]

A NHL player died on the ice actually wow and in racing dale earnhart died from a crash. Kevin ward died cause he left his car so. I could be wrong but I dont remember an NFL player passing on the field.

[irishhurler]

we are talking about field sports so no racing parkour cheerleading or bull riding

[jakemiller1230]

Ah well hockey or soccer then. All that cardio can lead to fatigue and heart attacks.

[irishhurler]

i dont think soccer is dangerous when your talking about cardio hurlers and backs in rugby are very fit like wingers are nearly as fast as runners and hurling is 70 mins of non stop running

[jakemiller1230]

true ESPN sports science to test this and see the results or your options.

[irishhurler]

are you saying they already made a documentary on it?

[jakemiller1230]

No they should though lol.

[irishhurler]

ya i was thinking that

[Tractorbeam]

Lawn bowls has the most fatalities.
They're usually old people in white suits and they die from heart attacks.

[LittleSally]

Rugby I'd say...
American football to me seems similar to rugby, you just have a lot of protection and in rugby you don't... so... rugby.

[Shmusername]

Cobra juggling.

Other than that, Aussie football is fairly crazy, and hockey is pretty nuts, just due to the variety of ways to be injured or killed.

[irishhurler]

talking about field sports

[Shmusername]

Making a joke.

[WhiteSteve]

I've never heard of hurling, but all the others could get you fucked up. Couldn't really say one over the others.

[irishhurler]

look it up basicly hockey baseball lacrosse with team of 30 gus beating eachother with a wooden axe chasing a baseball around a big field thats around 140 m

[WhiteSteve]

Sounds like my kind of game. I'll check for it.

[irishhurler]

its meant to be the fastest game in the world

[ArabianPwincess197]

I think all of them are in some way but maybe hurling

[irishhurler]

are you just saying it cause of my name?

[ArabianPwincess197]

Oooh lol tbh never saw ur name - I just imagined hurling things and thought that must be the 1

[irishhurler]

were you thinking of something like dodgeball

[ArabianPwincess197]

Yeah

[irishhurler]

its more like hockey

[ArabianPwincess197]

I see lol

[irishhurler]

you looked it up

[ArabianPwincess197]

not yet

[Anonymous]

Gladiatorial combat, I'd say

[irishhurler]

haha

[Opinion Owner]

Serious question: if gladiatorial combat was a "thing" and was allowable in this day and age, would you go to see one?

[irishhurler]

i might go depends where its on and are the guys good or bad fighters

[Opinion Owner]

Doesn't matter... there will be motherfucking gladiators with motherfucking swords in a motherfucking arena trying to motherfucking kill the shit out of each other.

Would you go?

[WhiteSteve]

If there were still gladiators, I would be a season ticket holder.

[Opinion Owner]

Lmfao, you win the comments section

[irishhurler]

i probably would

[rthomas43]

I don't really think any of them are any more dangerous than the others.

[irishhurler]

i saw a tv program showing why rugby was more dangerous than football cause there's barely any armour even tho football has worser tackles

[Nuns_in_Heat]

Aussie Ruless. Pretty much boxing mixed with rugby. Legalized assault lol!

[nickstaa]

Aussie rules is only a medium contact sport and they don't punch they just push each other.

[nickstaa]

And scratch lol.

[Nuns_in_Heat]

Yeah alright, you're thinking of soccer.

[Indigo_Moon]

I would have to go with American football, those boys are rough, and there is a reason why they wear all that protective equipment.

[Daniel121]

... you think that Rugby is any less violent? Rugby players don't wear all this protective equipment, it's just body impacting body and not in short intervals either but 40min halves with no rest

[Indigo_Moon]

Nice to know. I don't know much about rugby, sounds tough.

[NZDSTR]

LOL at the people that said American football they've obviously never watched rugby or aussie rules

[irishhurler]

and barely anyone know what hurling is

[Athleticbroo]

Its football for sure. 250+ pund guys on field trying to hit each other over the ball. Even at freshman level we have this shit down here yo ha
