All sports have a small element of danger but a few are just plain dangerous.
Which sport causes you to ask "Aren't they afraid they'll --------?"
Boxing. I
think it is so stupid that grown people will stand there and beat the
crap out of each other for sport. And then they wonder why they can't
function right later on in life.

Any kind of
auto racing - NASCAR, Indy, drag racing - makes me wonder.

Boxing...
don't they realize they are making themselves stupid?

The extreme
sports that are so popular right now do not strike me as sports so much
as thrill-seeking. There is a difference. However, most sports do involve
some kind of risk, even if precautions are taken. Look at Christopher
Reeve who suffered injury on horseback. You just never know.

races. I've seen too many hand-offs (no pun intended) go horribly wrong.

I am occasionally
worrried about auto racing. . .not because I think it's much more dangerous
than other sports, but because my husband actually does it and I always
sit in the stands checking for the quickest way to get to him if he should
get hurt. Not that I don't trust him to do well--I just care about him.
