Most likely activity for injury?

[shouldbworking]

Just thought i'd ask peoples perspectives on this. I quite like outdoorsy stuff and will think nothing of flying between trees on a pair of wooden sticks, but view the same thing on a mountain bike as having a high probability of death - and yet I also ride a motorbike and have on occasion been known to exceed mountain bike speeds on it.

So which of these would you consider the most likely to result in injury? cycling along to get taken out by a numpty car driver busy composing a cyclist rant for PH on his iphone? Surfing along looking the business only to fall off and get a board to the back of the head?

I voted M Biking as you generally don't have the backup of a mate on a rope, but seriously ... its always football

[timlongs]

Running, especially if you over-pronate and don't have the correct shoes, can lead to ankle problems.

I voted mountain biking as when I used to race I came back with a different scar every week, dislocated my collar bone 3 times, broke my wrist, gouged my shin through to the bone on one of the pedals, knocked myself clean out during a race and so on until I broke my back showing off on some jumps!
I've also seen a chap face plant, shattering his pallet (roof of his mouth)!

I'd say climbing.

Most people I know have fkered knees from years of climbing, not to mention mates who all seem to have lost mates from falls etc.

Stick to crochet.

Of the sports people I know, the most injury prone were football players. But most of the seriously injuried (ie dead or paralysed) people I knew/know were road cyclists who encountered motor vehicles.

I do skiing and cycling

while i have broke my leg skiing,

i have broke both arms, right leg and split the skull on the bike.

Your poll doesn't include "shagging".

Snapped banjo stings aren't that common.

Stubbed cocks on the perineum aren't that common either.

Punctured lungs can happen I suppose.

So what on earth are you thinking?

Being thrusted off of the bed and getting a bloody nose.

You should have a massive bellend, acts as an anchor, danger is dragging her with you.

Don't ever get on a horse........

I voted climbing because even doing it carefully and non-competitively, you still get injured. I could go for a ski or cycle down an easy slope, and there's no chance of injury unless some numpty wasn't paying attention; even a simple route when you're not warmed up and you lunge for a hold could have you popping a ligament or you might slip and graze a knee/elbow/shoulder. It's the only sport I've regularly injured myself to some degree in. Skateboarding, by comparison, wasn't so bad, although I did suffer the occasional grazed elbow and did sprain an ankle.

Depends on how serious an injury we are talking, I mean, nipple rash/rub is painful (and common) in running, as are minor injuries to the feet, ankles and knees.

fking Golf.

Back and neck problems can be quite serious...

[Bill]

Per hour of activity it's football. You have less potential for death but fractures and the like are very common.

Not to mention "degloving" the ring finger by catching a wedding ring on the hooks trying to jump up and attach the goal net

ETA of the list I voted for skiing as there's huge potential for injury combined with a population that doesn't get that much practice.

Exactly - wetsuit rash is not pleasant. Nor is standing on a weaver fish. I imagine getting bitten by a shark could smart a bit as well.

Now that I think about it, why the fk do I climb??

You sound rubbish, I hardly ever injured myself.

That's very possible. Or you're not trying hard enough.
