In the entertainment world, telling someone to “Break a Leg” is good luck. In the Horse Racing world, it would be like telling someone to go shoot themselves. Actually, that is exactly what you are telling them to do. In the rest of the sports world - it is somewhere between. (oh yeah - I do not mean this as a social commentary on the ethics of horse euthanasia. It is really just an excuse to show some crazy videos)

Kick Boxer:
Truly one of the most disgusting videos I have ever seen in my life.

American Football:
What happens when your momentum is disrupted so quickly that you cannot keep your legs from spreading?

Faux Wrestling:
Wait, this is just entertainment, right? Yeah, but something tells me 300lb men jumping from ropes onto tight trampolines is asking for trouble.

Rugby:
Come on, you knew this one was coming. Breaking a bone in Rugby is like breaking an egg to make an egg.

Skateboarding:
Do you think 4 2-inch plastic wheels and a half-inch thick board will sustain a 20 foot drop. Yeah, me neither.

Tennis:
Really, tennis? They have injuries in tennis? Apparantly so. And this one ranks up with any of the others above.

Football / Soccer #1:
No comment needed. The next several videos are all soccer and all pain.

    Wow those are some rough videos. There are a ton of weightlifting videos out there as well, which freak me out. There’s always a powerlifter who breaks a limb or drops the bar or him or herself. Exercise injury videos definitely make me cringe.

    You should also list your blog on http://www.topsitesfitness.com. It is a pretty tight resource for networking with other fitness bloggers and communities, and for getting some great search engine optimization and traffic monetization ideas.
