U don’t think horse riding is dangerous? U gotta be joking. What were u doing walking? I got thrown off just the other while jumping over a solid 1m jump. If u don’t think it hurts jump on top of a car going 35mph and see if that hurts.

It’s not as dangerous, and why do horse riders go on about “I’d like to see you try it”, i have tried it and have never got hurt.

I think you need to learn a little something. I do both cheerleading and horseback riding and think horseback riding is 10x harder. If you think horseback riding is easy, you go try it. You would be crying in seconds. It is a very hard sport. Missing a count is a lot better than missing a stride. MUCH. You miss a count, you have someone to help you. Miss a stride so many things can go wrong and there will be nothing you can do about it. It happened to me and my horse stopped in front of a jump. I almost snapped my neck. I bet you would not even sit on a horse. Learn what you are bitching about before you critique someone elses sport.

I have been horse riding for years – people always say that horseriding is dangerous- it is VERY but all Of these accidents in all sports are avoidable- whether if it was you pushed yourself too hard or did something recklessly or in a riders case rode a horse that’s not right for you if it’s too sharp or something…

Wow. Cheerleading isnt the most injury prone womens sport in the world (true, look it up) because we stand on the side lines, its because we toss chicks 10 feet up in the air with out any padding. -_-

Really dont care that most people dont think cheer is dangerous, or even a sport, but dont insult us by saying its dangerous because we might get hit by the stray football player. Not cool man.

The author should know that the base jumper’s skills have a great deal to do with his chance for survival. As well, some years ago, a thing called a wingsuit was invented, and continues to be developed. Ironically, as I understand it, Wingsuit flying is even more dangerous than basic base jumping.

I do not pretend to be an authority on the subject yet the author of this article does! I would greatly appreciate an update on this article. Thanks.

Hi,
I do cheerleading, gymnastics and horseback riding. But there is another sport that i do that i think is way more dangerous than them all. Horse vaulting this is gymnastic on a moving horse. We do not wear helmets or anything just leotards and when you are doing your cantre freestyle on a 17hh horse you have every right to be scared. But i think the thing that makes it the worst, is team cantre freestyle this is when your vaulting team come up with moves that they can do together were you can have up to 3 people on the cantering horse at one time. And because horses have a mind of there own and are so unpredictable, it can spook, buck or rear anytime. But don’t worry the number one thing we are taught is to be considerate to the horse so we definately do not hurt them

I am a horseback rider and it pains me to see the comments some people put. IN the last 2-3 years three people have lost their lives doing riding and two of the girls were 14! Cheerleading can be hard but most of the time its mistakes that can be prevented. I give props to all gymnasts escpecially thoose training for olympics who give away their lives to after their dream that can bee ruined by one fall. But i will admit horse riding is very dangerous. We spend years perfecting skills and deal with so many injuries and not to mention sore muscles. Plus one wrong move or shifting your postition can kill you and the horse. Everytime we sit in the saddle we risk our lifes but then again riding is ourlife. And people like Sam before you diss us think of people like Jessica Forsyth who was doing the thing she loved most which was jumping with her horse she would ide for and she fell and her horse accidentlycrushed her skull and broke her neck. R.I.P Jessica. So please keep your rude comments to yourself.
