To your skin and bones? Rugby.

To your life? Football. The added weight of the pads actually makes fatal injury more likely.

To your everything? Skateboarding.

I wouldn't call rope-less mountain climbing a sport sense so few people actually do it.

I have to say being an equestrian.
You are on an animal for goodness sakes! People DIE riding horses. You can be kicked, bitten, fall on your head, break your leg, arm, wrist, neck. Your horse may be going up to a large cross-country log and trip and fall on you. You can be bucked off and trampled, reared with. I've nearly broken my collarbone when my pony stopped at a fence and sent me flying. Two of my friends were in the hospital for months because they got concusions; one was kicked in the head and the other fell off her horse. My riding teacher was bucked off her 4 year old hannovarian and sliced her hand on the railing.
You think horse riding is easy? I beg to differ.

Did you ever consider the horse might not want your bum sitting on them? If you came and sat on me I'd kick you in the head as well tbh

On a slightly more serious note:

The one addition that made bare-knuckle boxing incredibly dangerous is the boxing glove. I think somewhere on average 5 boxer's die a year nowadays, whereas in the bare-knuckle era it was comparatively rare. The whole reason is because you can very easily brake your wrist and severely hurt your hand by punching someone in the face so people wouldn't punch as hard as they could. The boxing glove allowed them to punch as hard as they wanted and as much as they wanted.

Fight club?

You've no idea how much I want a game centered around old school, bare knuckled, twirly mustache boxing.

I use to rock climb when I was younger without ropes....but this is insane.

Competitive mathematics. The beatings you'll get from your less apt peers can be brutal.

Horses usually don't mind the people sitting on them. It's usually the people who are riding the horse or the obsticals the horse faces or the horse is in pain from mabye the saddle not fitting right or his leg is hurting.

That's dangerous to your well-being, but not generally to your health. I'll answer NASCAR. People actually die making left turns. :shrug:

Probably Nascar to be honest.

The real problem is when they get on the normal roads. They'll have to make a right turn eventually.

Dan Osman? I'm pretty sure that's a fake name and he's Peter Parker.

No joke, I've hurt myself playing badminton in gym more than I have in any other sport short of soccer. My friends and I played extreme badminton.

I had many big purple bruises from my primal badmiton playing in Highschool, what with the diving for the birdie that is about 15 feet in front of me.
