Mntboy Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 In terms of injuries requiring medical attention then yes - hockey is more dangerous than rugby - but they have weapons on a hockey field...... so stands to reason that it would be so. Fortunately most hockey injuries are relatively minor cuts that require stitching only and sometimes concussion from a ball or stick to the head or face. Rugby has less cuts but more broken bones relative to hockey and more life altering injuries like paralysis... although these are few and far between for both sports. Kind of depends on your definition of dangerous.... the most dangerous sport ito fatalities per participant hour is probably lawn bowls...Both are contact sports doc. Injuries happen in them, most are accidental. Those hockey sticks and balls though can do some proper damage. Rugby injuries tend to be because of poor technique or positioning. At least that's my take on it. As for lawn bowls [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]!!!!!!! Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk
Gen Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 [emoji23] ja, if you scared of blood you go play rugby I remember now, also broke left hand. Luckily my ACL was intact. But I was hit with the ball on the inside of my knee during an attempted tackle. This left me with a serious hematoma, nerve damage and crutches for 7 weeks... And had 8 stitches in forehead after colliding with the wall whilst playing squash ????

Ozzie NL Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Broken ribs and collar bone riding. Thought Velominati specify a min of two broken bones to be required to call yourself a cyclist?

King_Crispy Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Broken collarbone. Broken ribs.2 broken wrists. Cracked vertebrae in my neck. Separated shoulder. Cracked sternum. Numerous roasties. Then decided to go SS rigid and all those problems went away
Eugene Brown Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Broken hip from JUMA bail, and a few doses of blue nuts as a laaitie on bikes that were too big Not broken per se, but felt damn close to a crack at least
Mntboy Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 True - but 1 is contact by design and the other is contact by accident.
