Just curious...And I don't mean just the usual sports, what about less common ones, like diving, pole vaulting, etc.

Did you see Summer X-games? Travis Pastrada did the first ever double backflip on a motorcycle,one wrong move on that and you are dead or close to. Others could include Extreme(Alaska style) ski/snowboarding. Base jumpers, free divers, Extreme snowmobilers,ultimate fighters. There are a few out there, those just came to my head. Pastrada's double bkflip was just sooooooo crazy!!!

The world's most dangerous sport is B.A.S.E. Jumping. BASE stands for Building, Antennnae, Span and Earth, BASE jumpers will jump with a parachute off any tall structure including skyscrapers, electrical towers, bridges and cliffs. In the past, BASE jumpers have lept from the Golden Gate Bridge, the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building. People who try this sport almost always end up arrested (it's not exactly legal) and some don't even live long enough to get arrested.
The top ten most dangerous sports are:
1. B.A.S.E. JUMPING
2. FREE DIVING
3. CAVE DIVING
4.SPEED SKATING
5.ROCK FISHING
6.BULL RIDING
7.SUPERCROSS
8.SOLO YACHT RACONG
9.STREET LUGING
10. RIDING A BIKE (IT MAY SOUND DUMB BUT 1 OUT OF EVERY 5 KIDS WILL BREAK A BONE TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO RIDE A BIKE).

Speed Skiing - This is the world's fastest non-motorized sport and one of the world's most dangerous sports. Skiers wear special skis and aerodynamic suits to fly down a hill at speeds up to 160 miles (250 kms) per hour. That's almost as fast as a racecar! One crash often means death.
although personally i don't consider it a sport, nascar is kind of dangerous with the speeds that the cars go. surifing is also dangerous because you could get eaten by a shark.

Id say Hockey becuase you have to be in great shape to play and they are always getting in fights and breaking bones and stuff, but other than that probably sky diving or something

in a recent study more injuries have come from basketball than any other sport but i think that UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) is by far the most dangerous sport

i think bodybuilding is the most dangerous 'cause unlike the other sports where a person usually has all control of his body(even for the case of extreme sports), bodybuilding base itself on muscle fatigue and without proper control or warming up, it can cause some pretty bad permanent injuries.
