Football gets a bad rap for being dangerous . . . understandably. But according to a new study, it is NOT the most dangerous sport. So what’s worse? Hockey? Racecar driving? Motorcycling? Skiing? Maybe curling?
Researchers at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley say it’s HORSEBACK RIDING. There are more hospital admissions due to horseback riding injuries than any other sport. And they can be serious.
Chest injuries are the most common . . . but injuries to the head and neck can be lethal. Between 2007 and 2016, more than 24,000 people were hospitalized with horseback riding injuries, and 320 people died.
