The most extreme. Water extreme sports
One of the most useful activities is a sport. Some do it because they want to look good, others because they like the boost of energy that the sport gives them. But there are also those who engage in extreme sports to get a good dose of adrenaline. Not everyone dares to engage in this sport, as it is quite dangerous. In this rating we will talk about the most extreme and dangerous sports.

This is a young sport that is rapidly gaining popularity, the basis of which is movement under the influence of the traction force developed by the kite held and controlled by the athlete. This is a very fashionable and dynamic, spectacular and quite extreme sport. With the help of the wind, the kite tows you where you want, not the wind. Any place with wind towards the shore is suitable for kitesurfing. Big open water and a convenient place for the kite to take off and land are very important. Many people kitesurf both along the ocean coast and on large lakes and rivers. It all depends on the level of the surfer and his place of residence.

It is the art of moving and overcoming obstacles, a discipline based on a simple philosophy: there are no limits, only obstacles. Many people who practice it perceive it as a lifestyle. Currently, it is actively practiced and developed in many countries. The essence of parkour is movement and overcoming various obstacles, both existing architectural structures such as railings, parapets, walls, etc., and specially manufactured structures. A person who practices parkour is called a tracer. People who have been doing parkour for quite a long time do it beautifully and clearly, but beginners sometimes cannot do without abrasions, bruises and fractures.

Downhill riding on a long skateboard in a prone position appeared in Southern California in the 70s of the last century. Over time, race organizers began to take a more serious approach to issues of safety, regulation of routes and equipment requirements. The rules of street lag are now regulated by several racing associations, and the sport itself is included in the demonstration program of the summer X-Games. There are about 1,200 active riders in the world, but it can be assumed that there are many more of them and not all of them live by the rules of official organizations.
The only safety equipment riders have is a helmet, elbow and knee pads, gloves and sports suit. This is quite a bit, considering that it is difficult to force a skateboard that has accelerated to quickly slow down. In street lag, riders brake against any objects that get in their way - walls, cars, stones and trees. Obviously, only the luckiest riders do not get injured when stopping this way!

This is a timed rafting on mountain rivers with the passage of natural and artificial obstacles on special 6-, 4- and 2-seater boats inflatable boats. Rafting is a team sport and each participant performs certain functions during the rafting, and the crew as a whole follows the instructions of the leader-captain. As a sport, it was included in the All-Russian Register of Sports in 2003. Rafting is a commercial type of rafting, meaning no previous experience is required to participate in the rafting. This is also a rather dangerous sport, especially when it comes to routes of the 3rd and higher difficulty categories. The main dangers are: overcoming powerful rapids and waterfalls, falling into rubble and underwater pockets, getting injured, hypothermia, distance from civilization and, as a rule, lack of communication with rescue services.

Scuba diving with special equipment that provides an autonomous supply of air for breathing underwater from several minutes to 12 or more hours, depending on the depth, type of breathing apparatus and the diver’s consumption of the gas mixture. There are 3 types of diving: recreational diving - diving for relaxation and pleasure, professional diving and sport diving. To practice scuba diving, you must have a set of skills that can solve the vast majority of diving problems. These skills and knowledge are acquired through training and are confirmed by a certificate from one of the scuba diving associations. Diving is always associated with danger to life and health. Primary hazards: drowning, decompression sickness, barotrauma, gas poisoning and oxygen depletion or technical breakdown.

Bull taming or rodeo is cowboy sports, including taming a wild horse, riding bareback on a horse, catching a bull with a lasso, fighting a wild bull and taming it using a lasso, riding a wild bull. Distributed in the USA, Canada and Australia. The cowboy must not only stay on horseback for 8 seconds, but also show the animal's potential by spurring it. No other sport is as dangerous for bodily injury as bull rodeo. Here is a complete set for medical research: sprains and tears of muscles and ligaments, fractures of various degrees of severity, impacts, etc. The rider takes a risk every time he mounts a bull.
5
A type of technical diving performed in caves where there is a so-called overhead environment. In essence, this is the same diving, only in underwater caves. He is quite dangerous looking sport and places extremely serious demands on the swimmer’s skills, equipment reliability and equipment configuration. The main danger of cave diving is that emergency ascent is difficult or impossible. But there are other dangers. There is a risk of getting lost or not calculating the air supply - therefore, an air reserve. There is always a chance of being left without artificial light, so you need to be able to swim and navigate in complete darkness. There is a danger of damaging the equipment by hitting a wall or ceiling. Large amounts of silt can obstruct visibility for a long time, and just like in the dark you will have to look for a way out blindly.

Paragliding is paragliding using the lifting force of rising air currents. Such flows arise due to wind and terrain, for example, when the wind blows towards a mountain or when there is an upward flow of heated air. The steam glider is a simple system consisting of a fabric wing, ropes and a system. The movement is carried out due to the special shape of the wing of the paraplane, into which air is drawn, due to which it is picked up by the wind and carried in any direction. Paragliding is a rather dangerous, but very fashionable type of aviation. extreme sports.
An athlete is required not only to have good physical form, but also a good knowledge of physics, atmosphere, behavior of air flows, etc. As a rule, the flight begins at the top of mountains, hills or rocks, where a powerful air flow rushes upward at high speed, going around the top. The pilot should not be either an alarmist or a reckless driver. It’s the same with risk - smart calculation is always better. And not only for the pilot himself. After all, he is not alone in the sky and, risking himself, can create a dangerous situation for other paragliders.

The top three most extreme sports are mountaineering - climbing to the tops of mountains. The sporting essence of mountaineering is overcoming obstacles created by nature on the way to the top. IN sports competitions in mountaineering, the object of the competition is the height of the peak, the technical difficulty of the route taken, its nature and length. When passing through mountainous terrain and glaciers, there is a danger of falls, dislocations, fractures, avalanches and other dangerous situations that can happen even if safety precautions and all mountaineering rules are followed.
2
A type of alpine skiing, freeride, the essence of which consists in descending along untouched snowy slopes, far from prepared slopes, with a lift to the beginning of the descent by helicopter. Using a helicopter for lifting allows you to find various options descents from the mountains in pristine, untouched nature, where there is no other way to quickly climb. Depending on the type of helicopter and its carrying capacity, there may be several people in a group of skiers. The group, as a rule, is accompanied by a guide who is well aware of the peculiarities of descent on certain slopes. Where there are mountains, there is always risk and danger. To practice heli-skiing, skiers must be proficient in the technique of descending virgin snow on slopes of varying steepness. To ensure safety, each skier must have an avalanche transceiver, an avalanche probe, a shovel and more. necessary equipment for quickly searching for people in an avalanche, because there is a danger of being caught in an avalanche.

The most extreme and dangerous sport that uses a special parachute to jump from fixed objects. BASE jumping is considered the most dangerous type of skydiving and is currently considered an extremely extreme sport. The height from which a base jumper jumps can be from 40 to 1000 meters, while ordinary skydivers jump from a height of at least 1000 meters. The lower the object, the higher the jumper's skill is considered, and the more dangerous the jump. Another difficulty of this particular sport is that you need to open the parachute in just a few seconds at the very beginning of the jump.
For BASE jumping, specially designed parachutes are used, which are significantly different from ordinary ones. They do not have a reserve parachute, since it is not useful at such a low altitude, and there are no safety devices. Another difficulty in BASE jumping is that the landing usually occurs on limited surfaces, and therefore requires a lot of experience from the BASE jumper in piloting a parachute. Attempting to BASE jump on your own without the proper equipment and skills will usually result in severe injury or death.
"SE" represents the most extreme sports in the world.
BASE JUMPING
One of the most dangerous sports. Distinctive feature base jumping is that jumps are made from low heights and athletes do not have much time to choose correct position bodies when the parachute opens. The cost of any mistake or delay is too high. Trying it on your own usually results in severe injury or death.
CAVE DIVING
Diving in caves. At first glance, there is nothing complicated here, but in fact, such a dive can be extremely dangerous. Sometimes swimmers have to wade through pitch darkness, and even in case of danger it can be difficult to climb up.
DIVING
Scuba diving with special equipment. To go underwater, you need to undergo training that will allow you to acquire certain diving skills.
HELISKIING
Helicopter jumps and skiing on untouched mountain slopes. Using a helicopter allows you to find hard-to-reach places that cannot be reached by other means. The main danger is the high probability of an avalanche, so each skier must have special equipment with him, which will allow him to be found quickly in case of danger.
RAFTING
Rafting on mountain rivers with an abundance of rapids, rapids and waterfalls. Despite the fact that rafting has become quite a popular sport active rest, this is quite a dangerous hobby, because rafting participants have to overcome many obstacles on their way.
ROCK CLIMBING
One of the most beautiful sports. Stunning views, heights and an unforgettable experience. Many who have experienced this at least once will never be able to deny themselves the pleasure of trying again.
RODEO
The most dangerous and spectacular type of rodeo is riding an angry bull. To win you need to hold out for only eight seconds, but this is not as easy as it seems.
STREETLATING (streetluge)
Downhill riding on boards along highways. There are no brakes here, so once you accelerate, it will be very difficult to stop.
SURFING
Ride the waves on special boards that not everyone can stand on. The higher the wave, the more unpredictable the outcome of the battle between man and the ocean.
CYCLOCROSS
One of the most difficult cycling disciplines. Athletes must overcome a route in an open area with many different obstacles.
There is a big difference between traditional athletes and extreme athletes. The latter explore the limits of their own and universal human capabilities in order to step beyond them. To once again admire this "special breed" of people, we have compiled a list of 30 of the most exciting athletes, breaking it down into six main categories: sky, snow, running, water, rock climbing and wheel sports.
- Air and sky
Since, after World War II, soldiers from airborne units, using leftover equipment, began to jump with parachutes for fun, parachuting has become a full-fledged sport. It is constantly evolving and now there are many modifications: basic skydiving, skydiving, BASE jumps.
Jeb Corliss - skydiver, baser. This BASE jumper became famous after jumping from the Eiffel Tower and the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio De Janeiro.

Felix Baumgartner - skydiver, baser. Austrian paratrooper. Known for setting the world record for parachute jumping - 39 km, 843.6 miles per hour, and without auxiliary equipment he was able to overcome the speed of sound threshold. Not long ago, collaborating with Red Bull Stratos, he jumped from the stratosphere - from a helium balloon, setting a record for altitude and speed in free fall.
Yves Rossi - pilot. The Swiss pilot and inventor flies on JetMan, a jetpack-wing that he invented himself. He served as a fighter pilot in the Swiss Air Force and is known as the first person in the world to fly using a wing suit. jet engines.
Luke Aikins - skydiver, parachutist. American, comes from a family of legends parachuting. He added three world records to his family's collection. Now a member of the Red Bull Air Force, Luke travels the world with the team, performing the most breathtaking jumps.
- Snow and winter sports
Despite the fact that skiing is more than traditional look sports, extreme descents became popular not so long ago. You can both ski and snowboard different styles: this is freestyle, halfpipe, jibbing and so on. Typically, athletes are knowledgeable in many areas, but choose one or two for themselves and concentrate on them.
Shaun White - snowboarder, skateboarder. Perhaps the world's most recognizable extreme athlete is small. Won two golds olympic medals, X-Games gold medalist. He became the first person to receive a rating of 100 on the X-Games. Sean started snowboarding at the age of six, and received his first sponsorship contract at seven. He performs mainly in the halfpipe.
Xavier De Le Rue ‒ Big Mountain snowboard dist. Competed for France at the Winter Games Olympic Games 2006. Twice gold medalist at the Snowboarding World Championships.
Jeremy Jones ‒ Big Mountain snowboard dist. This American is the most famous master Big Mountain-freeride a. Jeremy's parents started skiing at the age of three, at nine he had already mastered snowboarding and since then he has managed to become a person who has moved from the very high altitude. « Godfather» Freeride is a supporter of environmental protection, he often refuses the use of helicopters and prefers independent hikes.

He designed his first snowboard at the age of 12 and contributed to the development and popularization of this trend. Received many awards - winter X-Games, Gravity Games and others.
- Running and endurance tests
Extreme runners explore the capabilities of the human body like no other. They demonstrate that our potential has not yet been fully reached, pushing the limits of endurance in marathon, triathlon, skyrunning and other types of endurance running.
David Goggins - runner. An American Navy SEAL who served in Afghanistan began running on long distances to raise funds for charitable support of the US Military. In 2004, he ran the San Diego Ultramarathon - 100 miles in 19 hours, despite the fact that he had never participated in a marathon before.

Ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days, covering 350 miles without stopping to sleep or eat. He now runs 100 miles a week and sleeps 4-6 hours a night.
- Water
Although humans are land mammals, and water is not our native element, extreme water sports call this fact into question. Surfers and swimmers prove that a person may well be born to dive and conquer the vastness of the ocean.
Laird Hamilton ‒ big wave surfer. Initially, the Californian extreme athlete did not seek to participate in competitions, seeing conquering waves as more of an art than a sport. However, this did not prevent him from becoming “the best of the best” according to experts. He surfed giant waves during Hurricane Marie and regularly tries his hand at waves as small as 70 feet, traveling at speeds up to 50 mph.
Diana Niad - American long-distance swimmer. First person to swim from Cuba to Florida without protection from sharks (2013). She swam from the Bahamas to Florida and was able to circumnavigate Manhattan Island several times.

Keala Kennelly ‒ big wave surfer. American athlete - 2007 X-Games gold medalist. Has been in the top 10 ASP for 10 years World Tour Championship.
- Conquering heights and mountaineering
Rock climbing is very demanding not only on physical but also on psychological endurance. Balance, internal control, muscle strength - all this is very important for climbers who regularly risk their lives for the most incredible sensations and achievements.
Ueli Steck - fast climber. At the age of 17, he reached level 9 in difficulty and was named one of the world's three best climbers. Uli has completed solo ascents of Annapurna and the Matterhorn. Karl Unterkircher received the award for his contribution to the development of mountaineering in 2010.

Once upon a time, bungee jumping or parachute jumping from a height of six thousand meters was considered the most dangerous. But today this is not much of a surprise, because extreme sports do not stand still.
We present to your attention a list of dozens of dangerous types of extreme sports, the existence of which you may not even have suspected.
(Total 10 photos)
1. Vulcanoboarding
Snowbrods are a thing of the past! Present to your attention the new kind sport - volcano riding. Vulcanoboarding is exactly as crazy as it seems at first glance. The only place in the world where you can ride along the slope of an active volcano is Nicaragua, Leon department. This is where the active volcano Cerro Negro is located. Anyone can race down from a height of 725 meters on a special wooden board at speeds of up to 80 km/h, knowing that the volcano is still active and its last eruption occurred just over 10 years ago. This is a truly powerful adrenaline rush! It will take a whole 45 minutes to climb to the top of Cerro Negro, and God willing, you can go down not only with the wind, but also completely, because the slope of the mountain is really steep: 41 degrees.
2. Trainsurfing
This type of activity is completely illegal. But this article is not about laws, but about absolute extreme sports, so we will tell you about trainsurfing. Its essence lies in riding on the roof or on the running board of trains moving at full speed. You've probably seen a lot of footage of similar “passengers” taken in Africa or India. Currently, an extensive campaign has been launched against this type of extreme sports. Its main danger is that “passengers” can be thrown off the train at full speed or injured while driving on an overhead contact line or when entering a tunnel. Although extreme is extreme, and it is unlikely that such difficulties will frighten truly desperate people.
3. Human catapult
Airkick(R) is another type of extreme sport, which is also called “human catapult” (I think this name puts everything in its place). A special throwing device throws the extreme sportsman up along a pre-calculated trajectory using air pressure and water reverse technology. The extreme sportsman presses a button to lift himself 8 meters into the air and flies at high speed into a pool of water. It is very important to enter the water correctly: if you fall flat on your stomach, you can get seriously injured! This activity is clearly for those for whom the usual prefabricated pool for a summer residence is already too small.
4. Driving through the dunes in jeeps
Just imagine the steepest and highest sand dunes that are simply impossible to climb, and then imagine that you are overcoming these heights in a four-wheel drive vehicle and at the same time you are overcome by the fear of falling - this is the indescribable feeling of extreme jeep tours in the desert. This type of extreme sports is popular in the United Arab Emirates, and this is not surprising, because local cars are best adapted for this. If you decide to take such a trip, don’t forget to take a video camera with you: you’ll have something to show your friends, otherwise they won’t take your word for it!
5. BASE jumping
Those who have the urge to jump from a very tall building... clearly need the help of specialists! But for those extreme sports enthusiasts who are already tired of banal skydiving, in search of thrills BASE jumping will help. It differs from regular parachuting in that base jumpers parachute from fixed objects, similar to paragliding. There are four types of fixed objects for BASE jumping: buildings, antennas, bridge spans and rocks. The danger is that there is very little time for the parachute to open, so you need to pull the ring at the very beginning of the jump, otherwise the consequences can be disastrous.
6. Speedriding
Speedriding is an amazing mixture of paragliding and skiing. Speedriders use a special type of parachute and skis to propel themselves downhill while gaining speed. This type of extreme sport is very dangerous and involves such high speeds that on some ski slopes it has already been banned. Thanks to the use of a parachute, the gliding speed increases incredibly: it is impossible to accelerate so much just by skiing.
7. Slacklining
This extreme sport requires strong but not very tight ropes. If the rope is not tightly stretched, then if necessary it can stretch like an elastic band. But a taut rope makes it easier to move, which allows you to perform some tricks! By the way, very dangerous. The record for the highest height in slacklining belongs to Christian Schu, who walked on a tightrope over a gorge at an altitude of one kilometer, which is equal to the height of three Eiffel towers.
8. Running with the Bulls
- This perfect way to get a truly colossal dose of adrenaline. Not everyone is able to voluntarily run ahead of an angry animal that weighs a ton. Yet every July, crowds flock to the Spanish city of Pamplona to race bulls that are then used for bullfighting. The only criterion that a participant must meet is age over 18 years. Therefore, any interested adult can run a distance of 840 meters along with hundreds of other thrill-seekers. But you need to keep in mind that 14 people who took part in such races have already died.
9. Bird Man
Many of us fly in our dreams, but the Bird Man does it in reality. Flight was made a reality by a special wingsuit, with which you can control your movements when jumping from a cliff. Using this miracle suit, you can reach speeds from 225 to 240 km/h. The Romsdal Valley in Norway is the most popular location for such flights during the summer solstice. As the suit fills with air and the nylon wings carry Birdman forward, he can feel the incomparable feeling of free fall.
10. Street luge
And last but not least, this is street luge, which originated in southern California among skateboarders. These guys one day discovered that they could achieve much higher speeds by lying on a board and sliding down very steep slopes. Today, this type of extreme sports has gained great popularity in Europe. If you want to try, then prepare for possible injuries, namely fractures, which are very possible, because when sledding down a slope at a speed of 96 km/h, the brakes are often the legs.
Every year there are more and more sports that allow people to injure themselves. But injuries are only one side of the coin. On the other hand, adrenaline, an indescribable feeling of balancing on the brink of life and death, a way to break out of routine life. It is important to take safety precautions responsibly, not to start classes unprepared, not to train on your own, and then you can avoid injuries. When compiling ranking of the most extreme sports it is difficult to be objective - the degree of danger and severity of sensations are very individual, and lethal outcomes are usually hidden.
5. Diving
In essence, it is harmless swimming underwater with special equipment. In order to start practicing it, you need to have certain skills that will allow you to cope with various problems that arise under water (mask fogging, loss of regulator, buoyancy regulation, and so on). But there are situations in which even many years of experience may not help - an encounter with a shark or electric ramp. There are many contraindications for diving: people with chronic infections, bronchial asthma, hernia, cartilage or bone disease, all types of neoplasms and many others simply will not be allowed to dive, and independent diving without training is much more dangerous. An even more dangerous type of diving is cave diving, which is underwater diving in caves. The main risk is that after diving there will be no way to immediately surface in case of lack of oxygen or other life threatening situation.
4. Alpine skiing and snowboarding
A very popular winter sport, although it requires a lot of expensive equipment. There are thousands of special trails for fans of this sport that operate all year round, but real extreme sports enthusiasts prefer to ride off-prepared trails. This is one of the types of skiing - freeride. The main danger of this sport is the unknown terrain, as well as the possibility of an avalanche. But this does not stop hunters from seeking extraordinary sensations, despite the fact that in terms of the number of deaths among athletes it is the most dangerous among winter species sports.
Another winter mountain sport discipline that is as common as it is dangerous is the halfpipe. This is the name of a special structure in the form of a half-pipe covered with snow, on which skiers and snowboarders perform various tricks, accelerating while descending the “wall” and “flying up” over the halfpipe.
3. Cycling
Among the cycling disciplines, the most extreme sports include:
BMX (Bicycle MotoCross) - one of the many varieties cycling, for which a special bicycle of the same name is used, which is much smaller in size than the usual one. One of the most popular areas of BMX is Street. It consists of performing tricks using familiar city obstacles (stairs, railings, curbs). Another branch of this sport is Flatland, the essence of which is a kind of “dancing” on a bicycle on a flat surface. This is one of the most interesting cycling types sports, but at the same time the least traumatic. Dirt - performing tricks on unpaved slides, flying up onto them due to preliminary acceleration. One of the most dangerous, but at the same time spectacular types of BMX.
Downhill is a high-speed descent from a mountain on a special mountain bike along unprepared trails, the main thing in which is the time of descent. The route contains natural irregularities - hillocks, holes, tree roots, stones, as well as sharp turns (the completion of which primarily determines the final time) and especially steep descents.
But the most dangerous of all is undoubtedly Freeride. This is a style of cycling on very difficult routes, involving overcoming cliffs of tens of meters, riding along very steep slopes, jumping over streams and ditches at enormous speeds. The name itself suggests that anything can be included in the route.
2. Rock climbing
It is difficult to imagine something more life-threatening than falling from a height of ten meters onto bare rocks, and therefore rock climbing is one of the most dangerous sports today. Of course, half a century of history and new technologies make it possible to reduce the number of victims, but it will not be possible to avoid them completely. The most dangerous thing, of course, is rock climbing on unprepared routes. This type is essentially a type of mountaineering, as it replicates all types of insurance and equipment. Also dangerous is, undoubtedly, “solo” (climbing without insurance), as it does not forgive the climber a single mistake. Recently, a variety has appeared called Deep-water solo, which involves using rocks located above the water so that when a climber falls, he falls into the water.
1.Base jumping
This is a type of parachuting based on jumping from high-altitude objects. The term BASE was introduced by Karl Behnisch, who created the name from the first letters of the words Building, Antenna, Span, Earth. 
They translate as: building, antenna, bridge, ground and are the main objects for base jumpers to jump. During a jump, it is very important to align the body before opening the parachute, because the fall occurs from very low heights, and if the parachute is not deployed at the right time, the skydiver will end up in an uncontrolled rotation and may become entangled in the lines. There is also a danger of colliding with the object from which the jump occurs.
For such jumps, of course, you need special equipment, since during the time that a regular parachute opens, the parachutist flies about 100-200 meters, which in base jumping is about a third of the entire flight. A baser parachute opens after a fall of 15-20 meters, and besides, there is usually only one, that is, there is no spare one. Also a strong difference from conventional parachuting is the landing area, which is usually very limited on all sides, and the BASE jumper is required to have certain training and skills in parachute piloting.
