A bunch of bull

Buzz's picture

The annual Running Of The Bulls is underway in Pamplona, Spain.  Locals and tourists race through the streets of Pamplona chased by bulls.  Does this sound like a fun vacation to you?

Imagine going all the way to Spain and spending the majority of your holiday in the Pamplona emergency room.  Eight runs are scheduled - so far more than a dozen people have been injured - luckily none gored.  The Bull Run - "fun & exciting" or "terrifying and idiotic"?

Surprisingly the Bull Run did not make an online list of the world's most dangerous sports.   The list includes:

Trampoline - Over 100 thousand Americans are injured every year.  Gravity can be a bitch.

Street Luge -  It's not the 60 mph speed you worry about, it's the oncoming 2 ton truck!

Big Wave Surfing - Cowabunga, dude!  Dude?  Woah, that's gotta hurt, dude.

Basketball - Over half a million injuries in the U.S. last year.  Maybe there'd be less injuries if they quit dribbling all over the court.

Fishing - yes fishing.  In fact over 100 fishing related deaths occur every year making Fishing one of the deadliest sports in the world.  Who knew Bob Izumi was such a daredevil?
