As we all know skiing is no where near the top for the safest sport. But what is the cream of the crop? Imho it's chess. You literally cannot get any physical injuries or long term ailments for being a professional chess player. "Oh but you can get back problems from sitting too much!" Just use a standing table bro.

What other sports would give chess a run for it's safety?

Golf isn't safe, it makes your drinking problems worse! (dad jokes for you all on this fine sunday morning)

Shooting guns is pretty safe as long as youre not firing some degenerate shit some redneck built in their garage. Also i cant stand how eye protection is considered vital when shooting a gun. The chance of a piece of lead coming back fast enough and in the right direction to make you go blind is like 1 in 10 million. Youve got a bigger chance of getting struck by lightning on a sunny day.

I got a 1/0 gamakatsu in the ear, had a 6oz weight on but was like a brutal piercing so I'd say fishing is one of the safer sports unless your crossing flooded rivers etc .

BrandoComandoIn a similar vein: competitive cupstacking


In my experience cupstacking can be dangerous. We did cupstacking in elementary school and one kid got pissed and broke a cup by throwing it against the wall.
