The worlds scariest sports

The worlds scariest sports
Although I have big respect for any sort of Athlete, the most badass sports are the ones where if you fuck up, you die. While handegg and football may be Athletically demanding, nowhere else can you get that sort of clarity that you get from the adrenaline sports. Such as...

Wingsuiting





Freesolo climbing





Highline soloing

Even us mortals somtimes get in on these sports, here is me climbing ropeless in 2011:

Wingsuiting is so incredibly dangerous. In fact unlike the other two there are factors not in your control that can kill you. The wrong gust of wind and your suit collapses and you barrel roll into a mountain. Looks like fun though.

20 or so years ago, I used to climb - and occasionally would free climb some easy, but sometimes very exposed pitches. Nothing harder than 5.7 or 5.8, so falls were unlikely but would certainly be fatal. Seeing a 16 year old kid fall to his death cured me of any desire to continue doing that.

I wanted to start boxing after I moved to Berlin. I had done some before (mainly punching bags)

But since I have already broken my nose twice and dont want to lose my sence of smell nore want a frankenstein nose, I will probably let it be.

Boxing is a great sport in fact I used to box a little myself. However it's not really that dangerous. Although people die boxing it's more from accumulated brain damage, they can always just quit before then, and one mistake won't kill you.

Honestly to me bullriding is right up there on the crazy list.
