5. Bull-Riding - This rodeo sport is quite simple - you have to survive as long as you can on top of a raging bull. Neck and head injuries, along with bone fractures, are common in bull-riding.

4. Football - The frequency of injuries in football is rather high. People chasing just one ball, and often lunging with one or two feet to tackle their opponents is an activity that often goes wrong. Practically every football match is interrupted by the medic team, rushing on the field to help an injured player off the pitch. Leg muscles and ligament injuries are very often. Still, all of this does not keep players competing fiercely in football leagues around the globe. 

3. Boxing - Are you sure you do not want to get hit in the head by a 220 pounds boxer heavyweight athlete? Yes, yes you are.
As much as the protective gear has developed in the last few decades (softer gloves, better helmets), boxing is a hazardous sport. It is estimated that close to 90% of all people that choose boxing as their careers suffer some brain damage and injury in their careers. Boxers are also prone to developing severe neural problems later in their life, like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease.

2. Jallikattu - Tamil Nadu is one of the states in India. During the event of Pongal, which is a way the people say thanks to the harvests that feed them, they participate in bull-taming. Jallikattu is a sport that caused numerous reactions from animal activists, as it is dangerous to both animals and humans. In a nutshell, the game of Jallikattu is organized in a way that a bull is released into an open field, and many participants try to catch him and subdue him. In the last 20 years, more than 200 people have died participating in this dangerous sport.

1. Base Jumping - You have all probably seen people jumping out of planes with parachutes, and thought - man, I could never do this!
Well, some people do not even need a plane to throw themselves down buildings or mountains. Base jumpers also use a parachute, but they, as the word suggests, actually jump from different objects. The BASE stands for Buildings, Antennas, Spans, and Earth. In this adrenaline-packed activity, people run off high towers or buildings and throw the parachute that they are holding in their hands.
