Love Your Sport, No Matter How Dangerous It Is

Sports are our own pastimes. They make the weekend at home sweeter and more exciting. You root for your favorite team and it’s all so awesome.

We here in the US typically love our Football, Baseball, Hockey and Basketball.

They're our sports.

And yeah, we have our own share of danger in our sports, especially with Hockey and Football.These are sports played with aggression, and are popular because they are.

Football is physically dangerous to arms, shoulders, ankles, fingers, and can cause serious head trauma and possible paralysis.

Hockey is physically dangerous to arms, shoulders, ankles, fingers, head trauma, and damages mentally when you lose a fight badly.

Now there are other sports, worldwide, which are all too dangerous also.

Most people look at some of them them, me included, and scoff saying, I can’t believe this actually happens.

Well, I’m here to let you fanatics of these particular sports know, although it is considered insane among other people, your sport, you love your sport anyway.

Love your sport, no matter how dangerous it is.

1: Base jumping

Even though we can plunge and accidently fall to certain death after smashing into the ground like a bug on a windshield, you can’t beat the exhilaration of even that unknowing.

That rush of fear and excitement.

This sport is so dangerous that when you jump, a number of things can happen to your parachute. It won’t open, it gets tangled, or you forget it and jump out without it.

Yeah, it’s rough.

But it’s a good time altogether for you. It's your good time, and every second is a maximum burst of adrenaline and rush of excitement you can't pay for.

You just can’t beat this rush, and although your sport is deemed dangerous to people mentally and physically, love your sport anyway.

Do it with all your might.

2: Diving

This is fun and beautiful.

Beautiful because of the coral reefs. The sea life is a wonder to behold.

There are living vegetation of all shapes and sizes. It's a magical experience.

However, there are tons of caverns and holes in the ocean. There are ridges. There is darkness in certain waters and it’s quite spooky. This makes diving a little troublesome.

But how it gets dangerous is the sharks, sea snakes, and big freaky looking crabs too, like the ones in Japan, whoof.

Not to mention many other creatures that are strong enough to drag you somewhere underwater, bite you, swallow you, eat you, or give you serious mortal wounds.

One thing about this sport, you got to be careful who’s water you go into because, you don’t want to dive in a pool of Jellyfish, piranha, or sharks. You might even want to stay clear of the sting rays.

Its dangerous, it can kill you, but it’s your sport and you love it. I say do it as long as you're alive to do it.

I may take this up during the summer myself, who knows.

3: Cave Diving

The name of this makes it incredibly iffy.

Who dives into a place consisting of rocks and boulders, with no discernible outlaid path or route, it’s just crazy.

At least with the diving there's water to slow the impact, if you should hit a rock.

With this sport, there's no way to go in the right or wrong way.

It's mostly the claustrophobia of this. You're underwater in caves, with limited light, on borrowed oxygen from your tank.

But we’ll do this; we will do it and love it.

We’ll get that incredible rush going down into the cave, into darkness, and the mystery of this underground place.

This sport just so happens to be a little too much for me, but for you, you daredevil, take it on.

Again I say do it as long as you're alive to do it, and enjoy every minute of it.

4: Bull Riding

Okay, you got to have cohunes on this one.

And I mean literally, you really must have a lot of guts to practice this sport.

Being tossed and possibly stepped on or trampled to death by a 2000 pound mound of moving living flesh, what can beat this rush?

Sure, you could possibly suffer terrible trauma and damages to your spine upon being tossed.

You could lose the ability to use your legs if you’re stepped on in the wrong way. This should be taken into consideration if even if you're a pro.

But then again, it's a sport that rarely anyone has the guts to take on. If you have the heart to take it on, more power to you. Your bravery is truly rare.

This sport is as dangerous and unpredictable as all the others, and you should love it no less.

If you're practicing bull riding, love it and enjoy it, even with the possibility of broken limbs.

5: Street Luging

This is the most iffiest sport I’ve ever seen and heard of.

You’re going at an incredible speed down the road on your back.

This wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t that you can't really steer at the incredible speed you're going down the road.

To put it simply, you can be run over.

Someone can kill you by running over you. You don’t really have a steering wheel.

If you venture on the opposite side of the road you know, to the oncoming traffic, you can’t really steer yourself back on the right side when a car comes.

Not to mention that cars and trucks can’t really see you, due mostly to your speed, and that may lead to physical harm or death.

Even in this case you must acknowledge that this is your sport. Love every single minute of doing it down to your last. Which will hopefully never ever be the case.

6: Mountain Climbing

Okay, I have a thing about heights with a roller coaster, but strangely this doesn’t bother me.

I love the idea of mountain climbing.

It's something about the earth being directly under me, is all I can come up with.

I shun heights, with roller coasters, yet I love the idea of doing this. I love this. This is my sport or thing.

It's the scenery, the conquest, the finish, the ability to say I did this; I took this mountain. I am a conqueror.

Kind of got wrapped up in that. Back to the list.

However, it’s dangerous because you’re going up and down a mountain, you can lose your footing or you can meet a mountain lion or cougar.

You could meet a mountain goat or some type of ram, that for whatever reason is in a bad mood on the way up or down.This can throw a monkey-wrench in the decent or ascent up and down the mountain.

Especially when it bumps you off your footing from behind. Just cheap-shots you from the back. Not to mention the cougar may come around for a morning quicky, some of you.

Yep it's dangerous, but it's our sport and we love it.

Death or not, we'll love each dangerous moment of it.

7: White-Water Rafting

This is exhilarating and great. It's truly great.The scenery before you get to the crucial area is divine.

It's a group or solo thing, and it's nice.

It's relaxing to be out in nature, enjoying the rush of the water, the beautiful shade of the trees while looking down at the fish swimming along in miniature pools.

It's peaceful and beautiful until you get to that crucial spot where the wind changes, the sound of the water is thrashing, and you're rushing down that water, paddling with cunning strength and stability.

Ducking and dodging giant rocks and boulders you could slam into, avoiding certain paths in that they could lead to the bottom of the wrong waterfall, slam you into the side of some waterfall’s bank, or slam you into the big rock sitting in the middle of your path that you did not see coming.

Yeah, this one takes the cake in danger.

You don't need to get broken limbs on this trip because you will not get through the woods too well. Nor would you be able to get away from a bear, or the shock of the pain with pills.

This sport is highly dangerous and you, you thrill-seeker you, should enjoy it all so much more because of that.

All sports have their own amount of danger and risk.

Better you get out and enjoy yourself with uncertainty than waste away without something that could be a priceless experience.

Enjoy life and the risks you take, and share them when you get older to friends, family, and loved ones; they're truly priceless.

In every dangerous, extreme, or regular sport; just make sure you enjoy yourself for as long as the rush lasts, and may it last forever.
