Not only that, but people here are arguing over two different aspects of a sport's dangerous factor....

a) the day-to-day grind (such as what you get with football or rugby) and even then, there are constant lower impact crashes and falls in cycling as well and

b) the low, but potential catastrophic risk of death or serious injury (such as what you get with cycling or motor sports but can also get with in football as well...such as the recently paralyzed Rutgers lineman.

Statistically speaking, want to know the most dangerous activity for athletes in high-school....cheer leading.
