Many sports, especially those that contain physical contact with others, come with an element of danger attached to them. Sports such as boxing or martial arts come with obvious dangers that can clearly be seen, but there are also some sports that although appear safe at first glance actually contain some hidden dangers.

When you really start to think about the dangers involved in different sports it may not be the obvious ones that you would consider to be the most dangerous. It could be a sport that for the most part appears quite safe.
