What is the most extreme sport in the world? The “Forbes” magazine made its own list of the most dangerous sports in the world and here it is:
10. Rafting
9. Cycle cross
8. Mountain Climbing
7. Street Luge
6. Surfing
5. Bull riding
4. Cave diving
3. Diving
2. Heli-skiing (jumping out of a helicopter to ski)
1. BASE jumping
cheerleading and gymnastics is a toss up,they are both the most phisicially demanding sports in the world,but personaly cherleaders can tumble,dance,and cheer,they cant touch what us gymnasts can do,but dont get me wrong cheerleading should deffinetly be second or third.
I think all of you people should get a life and stop hatting on cheerleading!!! cheerleading is one of the most dangerous sport in the world!!!!! and Ainsley we are not prissy we are athletes who are stronger than you because we lift people!! you try cheering after 1 week you will be so sore and tired!!!
skate boarding
why dont you prissy cheerleaders go holld a half tonne beast
(horse) inbetween your legs and then you come and tell us whether it is a dangerous sport.
Just 2 weeks ago i was competing in a barrels event, the round was a bit wet and my mare who is 580 kilos fell over, my foot stuck in the stirrup she rolled over my left side, rolled onto her back, i got hit in the chest by the saddle when she rolled on me moving my ribs into my lungs, and then rolled of and just clipped my wrist with her hoof.
#1 I could of died by being flattend and her landing on my chest.(oh yeah not dangerous at all)
#2 if my wrist was just another 3cms forward she would of stood on my wrist and completly broken it , shattereing every bone
(Oh yeah that ain’t dangerous at all)
YOU STUPID BITCH. TRY BEING DROPPED ON YOUR BACK OR HAVING A FLYER FALL DIRECTLY ON YOUR FACE. TRY TUMBLING, TRY SNAPPING YOUR ARM IN HALF AND HAVING TO GET UP AND CONTINUE. YOU FUCKING HORSE RIDER ARE ALL SHIT WITH NO BRAINS. YOU DO NOTHING BUT SIT THERE AND THE HORSE DOES ALL THE WORK. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT HOEBAG.
omg cheerleading is more dangerous um i dropped on a girl once and made her nose bleed and i broke my tailbone dislocated my shoulder too and have a 100 pound girl dropped on you how does that feel!
Okay how about you all just shut the f$%k up? Because you all sound very stupid and immature. You know what? It’s not fair for anyone to sit here and claim that theyre sport is the most dangerous cause all of them are different and have different kinds of dangers and it doesn’t necessarily make one worse than another. I understand what makes people want to argue about it because all anyone really wants is respect for how much work they put into what they do. I think that is what makes cheerleaders lash out more than other athletes because they really dont get as much respect as they should. I think that the point really is to not judge something someone enjoys doing and works hard at before you have tried it yourself.
Chloe:
REASHEARCH DOES NOT SLOVE EVERTHING!!! SO SHUT UP AND GET A DENG LIFE!!! Horseback riding is sooo dangerous. And think sometimes it is hard to hold on for Whar life. And yes I really mean dear life. Why you try to hold on for dear life on a bucking,rearing, crowhoping horse!!!! You would be able to stay on for long my friend. Even those cow boy guys will eventuy fall off. And don’t even get me started on jumping or racing! Did you know there are about 11 deaths are in cross counrty. And steeple chase you can get trample but not only 1 but maybee 10 horses! And sometimes we do hold on but the horse (1,000 1,2000 lb animals) just plob down on us. Here are some vids: (the first vid u have to wait for the falls) <param
oooooooooooooooo vids didn’t work
Listen to what everyone is saying!!! The only people saying cheerleading is more dangerous is girls!!! Give me a break, if people are dying in cheerleading it’s there own d*** fault. For the girl who said she has to lift a 150 lb. Girl with one hand! Come on noones a complete idiot in here almost always it is with 2 hands and about 3-4 people. Even if you were lifting someone with one hand with four people the average wait would be about 37 lb. I could llift tht with my co**. Sport or not if your telling me that your knee hurts a little bit after cheerleading, it’s not dangerous. My knees hurt after a run or nething, mainly from soccer. I’m not saying soccer is the most dangerous but if u get thrown into a guys college level soccer game, I bet you can’t even get outta bed in the morning. I’m sure you could say the same thing for football or any other contact sport however I know tht this won’t change any of you little girls minds whose only other sport they played was maybe soccer when they were 6, grow up. Obviously any sport you play gets tougher as you get older. Don’t sit there and say that soccer or football or any other sport is less dangerous then cheerleading. No females can actually sit there and say that cheerleading is easier then football or MENS soccer because no cheerleader would EVER be able to last 5 minutes out on the field with us. I know this message isn’t going to get through to any of you cocky ( as most are ) cheerleaders. And if you try to say you aren’t cocky…READ YOUR COMMENTS.. None of those comments are open to discussion at all you just say what you think, no what you think you know. And the reason this discussion could never come to a conclusion is becuz everyone is trying to defend their sport! Instead of living in a shell and bickering all the god damn time, why don’t you get out and live a little. If your complaining that your sport is too hard, why not miss a practice with no excuse? That is called being yourself. Doing what you want is the best thing you could do for yourself. It’s being free people, that’s what really matters, get out of your daily routine and do something with your life! LIVE! Cuz I got news for all of you! In the end no one is gonna give a F*** about if you were good at cheerleading soccer football lacrosse horseback riding or Anything!!! Live people expand ur horizons and keep on going. No matter where you are keep on pushin cuz u only get on life! So live like the good god d*** lord intended you to. Free your mind and be spontaniois, I would be willing to bet my life you like where it takes you! But if you choose not to take my advice and live a blind sheltered life then so be it. In my eyes that’s letting down the most important being (“god” if u believe in that kind of thing). Obviously we were given the ability to think freely and for ourselves, so use that, and go out and enjoy yourself, have a glass of wine to give ur mind a break, and for gods sake quit bickering about sports! Cuz once again you could be the best sports player of all time and if your not living your own life, well then it’s a life not worth
living! So see the world drive through the country be spontaniois and do whatever YOU wanna do, and please, stop listening to this rap stuff. It takes no talent, roam the countryside listening to some 60′s rock n’ roll let the music speak for you.. It worked with a whole other generation why not ours. All together now, be free and follow the only 3 things that matter in life…PEACE.LOVE. N MUSIC!!!!!!! I’m 18 years old and livin life one day at a time! Da** well I feel better now…
Peace n Love,
BEN

UM NO, THERE IS THIS THING CALL PARTNER STUNTING AND YOU HAVE TO LIFT PEOPLE WITH ONE HAND, GET YOUR FACT RIGT DOOSH.
ok, im a guy. and i have played foot ball & lacrosse every since i was in 4th grade, i’m in 9th grade now and i cheer at my school. and i honestly have to say cheerleading requiers the most atleticism. and it is very dangerous. we spend 20 hours a week practising lifts and tosses. throwing girls up in the air, is not easy! you have to have muscle. all the dude cheerleaders on our team are more athletic then any of our varsity football players. cheerleading is deffainatley A SPORT ! you run your ass of everday to stay in shape ? spend your whole summer at camps to practice ? practice everday at school ? and all people see is football/basketball games. no1 sees us compete. it takes so much time and effort. i wish all you people who diss cheerleading could just see hw hard it really is. then i BET you would not be saying it isn’t a sport.
i ice skate and horse back ride ok um horse back riding is the most dangoures it dose not have 2 be stupied and idotic to be a sport now i am a great ride who is very competitive and i only weigh 100 lbs and i am not that tall and ice skating is like cheerleading with ice and blades and a million other things cheer leaderds cant do i also cheer lead but all those sports are not dangures
cheerleading is the #1 dangerous sport in the world . Suck it .[:
okay ppl. cheerleadin is definitly NOT the most dangerous sport. the worst thing that happens while you’re cheerin is for someone to fall on you, and who’s fault is that? this girl on the field hockey team just got hit in the eye with the ball because the bitch on the other team got mad and hit it on OUR free hit. the bones around her eye are broken and she almost lost her sight. you know how many ppl get hit with the freakin field hockey ball? or stick? and for lax, i got a concussion cause some girl hit me with the ball on the head. skiing and snowboarding are dangerous too. you try and go off a jump on your board, you land wrong, and you break your hip or leg or neck or arm, etc. i agree with most of the other sports ppl are listing except like cheerleading. sorry
. oh and field hockey is very hard to play. okay cheerleaders, you might run, but so do we! most sports you have to keep in shape for stupid!(tony). in the world?!?! hell no, what bout rugby?!?! it’s football without pads! they tackle eachother for a ball, and they tear muscles, break bones, etc. it’s horrible. and cheerleading is dangerous? throwing someone up in the air, wow real tough. and there’s also gymnastics and horse back ridin, and bull riding, and nas car. they technically compete. think bout it!
So lets say someone is doing a basket toss and gets thrown approx 10 feet in the air in cheerleading, manages to go slightly off course when she’d getting thrown up, she can get thrown meters away from her bases and can sustain serious, even life threatening injuries. What we do is not easy, It is dangerous and people do die.
WTF I GOT DROPPED ON MY ARM AND IT SNAPPED IN HALF DOOSH. PEOPLE HAVE DIED YOU PIECE OF CRAP, I HAVE BROKEN 7 BONES FROM CHEERLEADING. I GOT ACCIDENTALLY PUNCHED IN THE FACE WHILE MY BASES WERE TRYING TO CATCH ME AND BAM! BROKEN EYE SOCKET. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.
I think soccer should be on there cause all you have is shineguard that barley cover your shn. People can step on your foot of you can get elbowed which really hurt trust me. One time there was two girls going for the ball and one broke her elbow and the other broke her nose. You can also get hit in the face. If you are in professional soccer and you get hurt really bad you have to get up and walk your self back to the ben ch in pain. It should at leats be third on the list.An all of you that think cheerleading is a sport you are just plain dumb all it is flexibility. Soccer is a sport. so i would think twice before you think stupid cheerleading is a sport. Soccer can cause concusions, bleeding from someone cleet, and surious head pro., plus you can break a leg or a toe. and if you have asma you can get a asma attack
DUMB, YOU ARE DUMB. WE TUMBLE WHICH MEAN FLIPPING, WE STUNT AND IF A FLYER GETS DROPPED THEY CAN DIE! i broke my arm after being dropped! YOU IDIOT, I get knocked out alot and all kinds of injuries. GET YOUR FACT STRAIGHT JERK.
Okay, let’s get this strait. I understand that there are a lot of dangerous sports in the world, but cheerleading is way looked down on. People don’t understand the endurance and the skill it takes to be a real cheerleader. I understand that there are some high school teams that really don’t do anything, and that sets a bad example. I also understand that there are a lot of people that join squads because they like to be slutty. Cool for them, I guess, but there are true cheerleaders out there. And it IS a dangerous sport, believe it or not, I honestly don’t care. But really? Do you really think that it’s easy and safe? I get hurt everyday at practice, it’s not rare. People break things, fall on their heads. Our squad is pretty good this year, so we haven’t had too many accidents, because we don’t let people fall on the ground, but in general, it happens a lot. People hit their head on the ground pretty hard. Plus, you really dont have any way to prepare for a stunt, you just do it. Your coach says to throw a basket, you do it. She says to pull a lib, you do it. End of story. So please, stop talking crap about cheerleading, because it’s the scariest, most dangerous sport I can think of.
Good list.
sports with the risk of death are the most dangerous. that’s why the fewest people try them.
the risk of injury is one thing, the risk of dying is another.
i am a competitive cheerleader and its really hard but its not the most dangerous people are saying 150 pound flyers..ya thats not true all the flyers are relativly the smallest ones on the team ….i do get get hurt every day i have cheer practice but i have never broken a bone and i have been cheering for 3 years………also it depends on what level of cheer ur on if ur on a level 2 team u have a really low risk of getting seriously injured but if ur on a level 5 team theres a good chance u could be seriously injured …………but i do have to say soccer is not a dangerous sport sorry(:
How many people die doing cheerleading or gymnastics, you’re more likely to die doing any of the sports on that list, and I think in terms of danger you can’t say that injuries count for more than deaths.
Demoltion derby should be Number 1

I think tumbling and gymnastics are the most dangerous sport. All my friends who have did tumbling or gymnactics broke there leg, arm,wrist, neck,ankle and hand. But if you really think about it whatever sport you like to play or think its cool to play your going to prombley say that your favorite sport is whatever you like. But there are some dangerous sports out there. Please write comments about what I wrote! Thank you
O.k. cheerleading is dangerous and high schools set horrible examples of real cheer but i have like five best friends and they are all flyers and they are on a advanced level but none of them have anything more than brusies. Gymnastics is never thought about. I was a gymnasts and it takes everything. Olympic gymnast give their lifes away to train and one wrong move or twist can kill you. Sadly while i was out i had a really big grwoth spurt and that threw gymnastics out the door. I weigh 100 lbs and i ride and me against a 1500 pound horse? Not a chance. But i love it and i go through pain to do what i love. We take years to perfect every detail and there has to be a special bond between person and horse. Plus you have to feed your horse grom them take care of take take and train horses. It is a sport and one that we risk our lifesevery time we do it. So everyone who thinks we just wear fancy outfits that we spend tons aof money on and just sit on a horse and it does everything just close your mouth ill take you out to my stable and ill let you do a round of jumps and you can take that back as you heal in the hospital.
I think that people should not try to play the dangerous sports, because they cause deadly.
ok , dangerous sports are lucky for stupid person .
