What is more dangerous? .................

Riding or Ice Skating ........

I know that I would not dare to let go of the side, if I went Ice Skating .... so what about you?

I cringe watching Dancing on Ice

I vote ice skating even though there's less hazards in an ice rink than whilst riding! I refuse to think riding is dangerous! It's too much fun!

I agree with you, we have to focus our minds on the enjoyment of riding and being with our beloved horse

i would say horse riding purely for the fact that you are riding a half a tonne animal with a mind of its own.

i knew two close friends who both died in a rotational falls when they're horses fell on them when both jumping under 3ft, nothing big, just freak accidents.

yet i know nobody who has died from ice skating, maybe because im in the horsey world not ice skating but never even heard of it on the news before or anything.

Isn't horse riding number 2 or 3 in the list of most dangerous sports? I think because we are working with animals who at the best of times are unpredicable. It also goes on statistics and i think it's something like ut of every 10,000 riders there are 200 deaths or something. Probably not that many deaths in ice skating as a whole.

everytime i go ice skating all i can think about is my fingers if i fall over

Last time i went ice skating someone got hurt and there was quite a bit of blood on the ice (probably looked more blood than it was due to it being on ice) but it wasn't nice too see

Have just read that horse riding is 3rd most dangerous, but strangely the most dangerous is lawn bowls

I was aware that Horse Riding is one of the most dangerous sports, but try not to think about it

.... and the level I ride at, I hope and pray (although not religious!) that I will be ok, however I did not think that lawn bowls was risky

...... my Dad at 83 plays that, so I had better stop him now

Um could be cos its played by people over 90 so more likely to injure themselves trying to move??

Sorry

That was actually the main reason it said most of the players are over 85, injuries include smashed ankles, broken hips even worse heart attacks and strokes
