    On topic of getting hurt in sports, there is this one called “jereed” where people on horseback throw javelins at each other.

    It sounds fun except average game is 45 minutes of people missing each other in turns until one guy does some insane trick like catch the other guy’s javelin mid-air.

    Then the announcer says in a monotone voice “2 points”, and game continues as-is with everyone missing each other in turns until the end.

    Sometimes players fall off the horse and get injured for life tho.
