<p>I guess you’d have to know the “per capita” injury rate per sport. I’d guess cycling or downhill skiing… I’d also guess that running would be up there, just from personal experience. Almost everyone I know who runs on a consistent basis has some chronic knee, ankle, or foot pain.
Anyone have per capita stats? That would be a much more useful piece of info to know before deciding the actual personal risk of playing a particular sport.</p>
