Check it out Here's a snippet: The numbers show, surprisingly, that of all the activities you might participate in this summer, or throughout the rest of the year, basketball had the highest estimated number of injuries, with more than 529,000 during 2006, followed by bicycling, at over 490,000 and football, at over 460,000. Rounding out the top five are riding an ATV, moped or minibike, with more than 275,000 injuries, and playing baseball or softball, with over 274,000 injuries. The injuries reported ranged from getting elbowed in the mouth during a basketball game to a fractured femur following an ATV rollover. |

Are these absolute numbers, or are they normalized for number of participants? I've heard the hang gliding is one of the most dangerous sports ever. |
