World’s Most Dangerous Sports
BASE Jumping
Leaping off cliffs or buildings with a parachute, this sport has the highest death rate of all extreme sports.
Wingsuit Flying
Gliding in a suit with no engine near cliffs and trees is breathtaking—and extremely fatal if miscalculated.
Big Wave Surfing
Surfers face 80-foot waves, drowning risks, and getting slammed into reefs or the ocean floor.
Bull Riding
Staying atop a raging bull for 8 seconds may look short, but injuries and fatalities are frequent.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
With minimal padding and full contact, fighters suffer from broken bones and long-term brain trauma.
Rock Climbing (Free Solo)
Climbers scale massive rock faces without ropes; one wrong grip can be fatal.
Motocross Racing
High-speed jumps on uneven dirt tracks often result in crashes, fractures, or spinal injuries.
