Mntboy Posted March 17, 2017 Share 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]!!!!!!!

Gen Posted March 18, 2017 Share [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 ????

Not allowed to play otherwise. Not to sure about hockey but afaik they do. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
