Top 5 Most Dangerous Competition Sports


Top 5 Most Dangerous Competition Sports



1. Motorcycle road racing
Road racing
Road racing is a form of motorcycle racing popular in parts of Europe, particularly Ireland. The races take place on normal roads, which are incredibly narrow. The racers have to deal with bumps, curbs, road markings, hedges, telephone poles, walls and fences at speeds similar to those achieved on proper race tracks. It is ridiculously dangerous.

2. Bull riding
Bull riding
Take one big, angry bull and add a cowboy, equipped with little more protection than a gum shield, and you have the perfect recipe for danger.

3. Street Luge
Street Luge
Go to the top of the hill. Lie down a few inches above the road surface on an elongated skate board with no brakes. Wait for the starter to say go and try to be the first to get to the bottom of the hill. Oh, and try not to get killed or seriously injured in the process.

4. Rugby
Rugby
Rugby is a sport that is not very well understood in countries where it is not played (if the truth be told it is not well understood in countries where it is played). In terms of this list, think of it as American football (huge men trying to hurt each other over an oval ball) without the helmets or body armor.

5. Horse racing
Grand National
We are not talking about horse racing around a dusty oval track here. We are talking about jump racing with the pinnacle event being the Grand National in the UK. It involves about 40 horses running around a 4 mile track which has 30 fences for them to jump, some of which are over 5 feet tall. Only a fraction of the horses that start each race manage to finish it.
Thank You
