9 most dangerous modern sports

We all know that our ancestors had their own extreme sports and downright crazy games. But if you look around you realize that nothing has changed. We still love to test ourselves in dangerous tests and try to get as close as possible to the limits of human endurance. Here are nine of the most dangerous modern sports.

1. Cliff diving.

This is not a sport for you if you are afraid of heights. Cliff Diving is jumping into the sea from rocks and cliffs. The most simple is its key, as well as the sheer danger that every diver faces with every jump. Injuries can occur, as a rule, from hitting a rock or water during an incorrect jump.

2. Hoi Phet.

We are not sure if this can be considered a sport at all, but this entertainment is very dangerous. The game takes place in the village of Hien Quan in Vietnam, where the entire village comes together and begins a game that is a mixture of hockey and cricket combined with violence.

3. World Championship for wearing wives.

Undoubtedly bright, fun, and very traumatic sport, where falls happen very often.

4. Tough Guy Challenge.

The action takes place in Wolverhampton, England. The game includes hot coals and a minimum of clothing, making it really dangerous. Competitors compete in 21 tournaments to claim the Tough Guy title. This is walking on burning coals and swimming in cold water.

5. Buzkashi.

Just imagine that polo is not the sophisticated sport of kings that we all know about, but was born, say, in Afghanistan, where a recently killed goat is used instead of a ball. What we have described is a sport called Buzkashi.

6. Base jumping.

It is such a dangerous sport that many countries around the world have made it illegal. In essence, it is similar to parachuting, but jumps occur from a much lower height, very often from high-rise buildings.

7. Heli-skiing.

As the name suggests, this sport uses helicopters combined with traditional skiing. The daredevil, bored on the usual tourist slopes, flies in a helicopter to the higher and more inaccessible ones, after which he jumps from the helicopter and begins a frantic descent.

8. Cave diving.

Another sport that you should be careful with is cave diving. It is a dive into caves partially filled with water.

9. Big wave surfing.

This sport is similar to regular surfing but more dangerous. Big wave surfers are professionals who conquer waves over 6 meters high.
