Terrible Sports Accidents

The thrill of victory … the agony of defeat  …

As we all know (but don’t want to admit), disaster can be way more riveting than success—and should be celebrated with equal abandon. This is a tribute to those intrepid souls who risk everything, often unintentionally … the unsung heroes of Terrible. Sports. Accidents.

1. Extreme Mountain Biking
This guy gets really big air. Note the rush of adrenalin coursing through his face.

2. Boating
That’s gotta hurt. How did this guy get in this position, anyway? Possibly perpetrated by the dude obliviously driving the boat. This situation would argue against the wearing of tight swimwear.

3. Water Skiing
On the other hand, this would argue against the wearing of loose swimwear. Awww, he looked like he was having such a good time before he got pantsed. Too bad he’s turned the wrong way.

4. Swimming
Don’t go there. This sort of accident poses a greater danger to innocent bystanders than to the party originally involved in the accident.

5. Ice Skating
Even ice princesses get the blues.
