Is horseriding more dangerous than gymnastics?

Answer 1

I think horseback riding is much more dangerous. Remember that the rider of a horse has to control a 1,600 pound animal with little more than a pair of reins. Horses, like all animals, can be unpredictable. They can buck, rear, etc at any moment. And, sometimes if you fall the horse might land on you. So I believe horseback riding is much more dangerous, even though soccer can be, too.

Answer 2

Yes. Horse riding is hands down more dangerous than Gymnastics. I have done both sports so know the risks of both. I quit gymnastics because it got boring, and yes I did see what the older kids were doing. When you get on a horse, you have a HUGE risk of dying. You are controlling a 1200 pound animal (544kg) who could spook or trip at any given time. No matter how much you think you can trust your horse or they can trust you, they are an animal and they have a mind of their own. On the other hand, even though you do many filps and tricks and could fall and break a bone, the most you could possibly do is break a bone. You don't have a huge animal stepping on you or falling on top of you.
