Sub-Poll so what's the most lethal event for you?

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Jul 24 '24, 08:35

Like I know we have former gymnast(s) among us so gymnastics wouldn't be considered as nearly fatal as the blogger's list

I need to think for a detailed list but the 10M platform pretty much just mentally scares me to 'death' so I have all types of bad mental images about just how poorly that could go

My neurologist told me the most common sport-caused traumatic brain injury came from soccer. -- nm - Landbeck Jul 24, 08:52 3

  - the best. the volleyball one is also awesome -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 24, 08:57
  - HUGE Studio C fan! But the real problem is people running into each other. Looking at the ball on the ground rather than at the opponent. -- nm - Landbeck Jul 24, 08:57
The one where you're skiing with a gun. Biathlon? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 24, 08:49 1
- Oh. So if we're doing both Winter and Summer. Any of the non cross country skiing events ☠️ -- (edited) - JD Jul 24, 08:56
Surfing. Any of the combat sports (Taekwondo, Judo, Boxing) -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 24, 08:48
Any of the combat sports, save fencing (which just gets you whacked with a stick). I'd also last a very short time in basketball - Reagen Jul 24, 08:40 2
- Except Olympians have /died/ fencing. -- (link) - Landbeck Jul 24, 08:49 1
  - Yes, but they've changed the equipment in response. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 08:58
Ski jump -- nm - con_carne Jul 24, 08:40
pole vault -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 24, 08:39 1
- I would consider this but I don't think I can even lift the pole so can't even make the run so can't miss the plant - JD Jul 24, 08:49
i'd say boxing OR surfing -- nm* - Beaker 🍺 Jul 24, 08:36 1
- Hmmm..there's gloves and headgear for boxing. Oh! and weight classes so I'd like to think that'd be a more long term CTE type thing for me -- (edited) - JD Jul 24, 08:45
