¡¡¡¡What are the riskiest sports you can do? Well, if you thought of ¡°dangerous sports¡± like hang-gliding, parachuting, or scuba-diving, you'd be wrong, because they're not, in fact, that dangerous£®

¡¡¡¡According to recent statistics(ͳ¼Æ×ÊÁÏ), the sport that causes most injuries is rugby, and football is a close second£®Despite the popularity of these games, and although we teach school children to play them, they injure more people per 1, 000 than motor-racing, skiing, or scuba-diving£®

¡¡¡¡Of course, people do get hurt in ¡°adventure sports¡± and the most dangerous is climbing, which kills eight people a year£®But it is not always obvious which activities are dangerous£®For instance, two people die every year in hang-gliding accidents, but the same number are killed by badminton, whereas six people a year die in fishing accidents! So ¡°exciting¡± isn't always the same as ¡°dangerous¡±£®

¡¡¡¡This is even more true when you consider the activities of everyday life£®Many more people die due to accidents in the home than from sports of any kind£®Did you know that 160 people per year are killed by toothpaste and 3£¬600 are killed by curtains(although how this happens is unknown)?And if you really want to live dangerously, then have a cigarette, or get in a car, because the three biggest killers in the UK are heart disease, cancer, and car accidents, in that order£®So to live longer, stop smoking, sell the car, and start jumping out of aeroplanes!
