How Dangerous Is Your Favorite Sport Or Exercise?

The makers of KT Tape have recently provided us with a really cool and interesting infographic that depicts the most dangerous sports and exercises in the United States. I bet you can't guess which is the most dangerous one of all. All information is based on data gathered from CPSC.gov, The Daily Beast, and Livestrong.org to name just a few. What conclusion did they draw after compiling all of the numbers? That extreme sports have higher fatality rates, but popular sports such as football and basketball have higher injury rates. That means that you are more likely to be injured, rather than killed, while playing basketball and that there is a low risk for injury in extreme sports. Unfortunately, with extreme sports, when something does happen, the data shows that a fatality is more likely than an injury. Take a look for yourself!
