Which is more dangerous basketball or baseball?

Answer 1

Football could be be if you get hit wrong. A school friend of mine was in a coma for weeks and took a year to recuperate. But he was hit illegally from behind, not as an actual part of the football action.

The reason for the helmets and pads is that collisions between boys or men, at the speeds at which they run in US football, is very likely to cause injury otherwise. Additionally, putting so much force on muscles and joints can damage them even without direct impact. Many players suffer ankle and knee injuries.

Answer 2

No.

compared to competitive cheer...football is crazy easy and yes i have played both. If you want more information, then look up the question :

What is the most dangerous sport?

Answer 3

Yes, all forms of football are far more dangerous.

[This is purely opinion and speculation, I suggest searching Google for Football accident and injury rates and comparing them with the same for Volleyball for a more objective answer.]

Answer 4

Football is much more dangerous! baseball is dangerous.because you don't have padding or facemask.the ball is coming at you at 95 mph you cant see it you get hit in the throat and you will die or in the temple there was a baseball player who was playing and got beamed in the cheek and his eye popped out. But more deaths due to Football only one death from Beanball.

In baseball, a beanball is a pitch, similar to a brushback pitch but actually intended to hit the batter as it is thrown at the head. Several players' careers have been impaired or derailed after being struck with a beanball. Hall of Famer Mickey Cochrane was knocked unconscious and later hospitalized for 7 days in 1937, and never played another game. In 1941, Dodgers outfielder Pete Reiser was hospitalized for a month, one of numerous injuries which shortened his career. Lou Boudreau played only sporadically after being beaned in 1951, and retired the following season. Tony Conigliaro missed over a year after being hit in the eye, and his vision later deteriorated to the point where he was forced to retire. Dickie Thon returned from a gruesome beaning in 1984, but never matched his earlier success. On September 28, 1995, Kirby Puckett, the superstar outfielder of the Minnesota Twins, was struck in the cheek by a Dennis Martínez fastball, breaking his jaw and loosening two teeth. It would be his last game; during spring training the following year he developed glaucoma, which ended his career. In 2005, the Cubs' Adam Greenberg was hit in the head with the first pitch that he faced in his major league career. Ron Santo, who thought he had lost an eye when his cheekbone was broken by a pitch in 1966, rushed back to the lineup. He described his attitude: "It was like, 'Here, hit me again.' I didn't have any fear. I just went on. When you get older, maybe fear does set in. Nobody will admit that, but it does happen." Don Zimmer, who was nearly killed by a beanball in 1953 and had four metal buttons surgically implanted in his skull, recounted, "It's not a case of being tougher than anybody else... You never know how you're going to react until you come back and play again." Ray Chapman, killed by a pitch in 1920. Only one player has died after being hit in the head in MLB history. Cleveland Indians shortstop Ray Chapman was hit by a pitch thrown bysubmarine pitcher and noted headhunter Carl Mays on August 16, 1920 at the Polo Grounds in New York. He died 12 hours later and is noted as the only player to have been killed by a pitch. The following spring, Chapman's teammates experimented with leather helmets similar to those being used by football players; that year's Spalding Guide declared, "There is nothing 'sissy' about it." Catcher Roger Bresnahan is cited as one of the first players to construct and wear a helmet, in 1907. Starting in 1956, Major League Baseball required that all batters either wear batting helmets or protective plastic liners underneath their caps. Full helmets were made mandatory in 1971, and wearing a model with an earflap has been required since 1983. Minor leaguers (as well as most college, high school, and youth leagues) must wear helmets with a flap covering each ear. A pitcher who is known for a habit of purposely throwing at opposing batters' heads is called a headhunter. Pitchers popularly known as headhunters include Don Drysdale, Bob Gibson, Sal Maglie, Hugh Casey, Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens, Pedro Martínez, Vicente Padilla, Josh Beckett, and Ian Kennedy.
