Everyone has some hobby that can help them relax after a long day at work. But are all hobbies safe for life? These ten hobbies are sure to be hated by mothers around the world. True, they can be very exciting, but are you ready to risk your life just to have full fun for an hour or two a month? Find out what these 10 most dangerous hobbies in the world are.
Hang gliding
Hang gliding is not the most popular hobby now, but people continue to do it. The risk of death during this hobby is 1 in 116,000 flights. In general, there are usually 7-10 deaths per year.
Surfing on huge waves
This hobby involves cutting through huge waves with just one board. Waves can be quite destructive, more than 6-15 m high. Every year, about 10 people die during this hobby. Skydiving
Skydiving may seem fun and exciting, but the risks are real and great. Parachute failure, mid-air collision, and loss of consciousness lead to an average of 21 deaths per year.
Rock climbing
The whole point of this hobby is to climb as high as possible. Every year, approximately 25 people die due to the dangerous nature of the hobby. BASE jumping
BASE jumping is an amazing and at the same time dangerous hobby. It's hard to imagine a daredevil who is ready to jump from a cliff or building with just a parachute. A lot can go wrong. There is one fatality for every 2,137 jumps.
Scuba diving
Since most of the world is covered in water, many people spend their free time exploring the depths of the oceans with scuba gear. This fascinating activity kills 150 people every year in the United States alone.
Piloting
Piloting has become a more popular hobby over the past few years. More and more people are obtaining private pilot licenses and purchasing private jets. Pilot error, malfunction or bad weather conditions account for 400 fatalities every year.
Boating
Everyone who can afford to buy their own boat or yacht loves to spend their free time on it. This hobby may seem like a safe hobby, but it is actually quite dangerous. Boating causes approximately 736 deaths in America.
Street Skate Racing
Street skateboarding is a hobby that, it seems, would only be pursued by those who do not value their lives. Fans of this hobby find a steep slope, climb to the top and then descend at great speed. These skate sleds do not have brakes, which means accidents happen often. There is 1 death due to injuries per 1000 descents.
Riding motorcycles
Having a motorcycle has always been synonymous with freedom. On a motorcycle, you are not limited to the metal of the vehicle body. Unfortunately, this means you are less protected during an accident. Every year, 4,462 people die from motorcycles.

In the modern world, a hobby is an integral part of any person’s life. In addition to being an excellent opportunity to pass the time, hobbies bring great benefits to our health. By doing what you love, a person experiences moral satisfaction, becomes stress-resistant and begins to look optimistically about his future life. Everyone knows such hobbies as embroidery, drawing, collecting various things and much more.
As a way of self-expression, hobbies play an important role in people’s lives; a job done well and with desire brings joy. However, not everyone knows that sometimes a favorite hobby can be dangerous to health. We have compiled a rating of the 5 most extreme types of entertainment for humans.
In 5th place today is an attraction called Bungee Jumping. It is often compared to the Russian bungee jump. It must be said that there is little in common here. The essence of bungee jumping is as follows. People jump from all sorts of heights with an elastic rope attached to some part of the body. Such jumps are actually very dangerous. The probability of a tragic outcome from bungee jumping is 1 in 500,000.
Number 4 on today's list is occupied by such a hobby as Extreme Ironing. Of course, this sounds absurd. It would seem that there could be something dangerous about ironing clothes. However, this type of entertainment does exist. People climb to the tops of rocks, or, on the contrary, go down deep into the water and install an ironing board there, on which they then begin to iron their linen. Besides the fact that Extreme Ironing is a very strange hobby, it is very dangerous. The risk that this entertainment will end badly is very high.
3rd place today goes to such a phenomenon as Jailoo tourism. This is a special, extreme type of tourism. People go on a journey and spend some time in primitive conditions. The goal of such an event is complete connection with nature and temporary renunciation of all civilization. Many will decide that this hobby is not extreme. What's so hard about spending a week in the mountains in a tent? However, accidents often occur during Jailoo tourism. Therefore, this hobby also deserves its place on our list.
We give 2nd place to space tourism. Of course, such entertainment is not very popular or widespread at the moment. But, despite this, several people have already experienced what it is. The cost of such entertainment is, of course, very high. It is about 200 thousand dollars. And there’s no point in talking about the risk of an unpleasant outcome from such a trip.
And finally, we have reached the top of our list. Ice hockey is in 1st place today. Yes, this entertainment really exists. Moreover, ice hockey has already become a recognized sport. There are also international ice hockey competitions. Its main difference from regular hockey is the playing field itself. She is underwater. The difficulty of this game also lies in the fact that among the special equipment there are no air cylinders that scuba divers use. Players must emerge every 30 seconds to take a breath. Of course, this type of hobby deserves 1st place in the top five most dangerous and extreme entertainment.
It is believed that a person needs a hobby to escape from the drabness of everyday life, relax and get a dose of positivity. There are thousands of different hobbies in the world - from philately to embroidery. But some people choose extreme hobbies that can become life-threatening.
1. Skydiving
Skydiving or skydiving is a popular sport that provides tons of adrenaline. These days, most skydivers are required to carry two parachutes (in case the first one fails to open), but fatalities still occur in the sport (approximately 1 death in 150,000 jumps). Injuries are also very common, even with a fully functional parachute.
2. Deep sea diving
The definition of deep sea diving may vary depending on certain categories, but from a recreational diving perspective, depths below 30 meters are generally considered "deep sea diving". It is from this depth that the danger of nitrogen narcosis arises for some divers. In addition, there is always a risk of attack by some marine predators.
3. BASE jumping
One of the most extreme sports is jumping with a parachute or wing suit from fixed structures. Most often, BASE jumpers jump from buildings, antennas, spans of bridges and heights on the ground. Due to the lower jump height (compared to regular skydiving), BASE jumping is significantly more dangerous than skydiving from an airplane. Moreover, BASE jumping is prohibited in many places.
4. Rafting
Despite being considered an extremely dangerous sport, rafting is becoming increasingly popular in many countries around the world. There are numerous dangers associated with it, such as the risk of drowning, injury from rocks and branches hidden under water, and heart problems caused by the release of adrenaline.
5. Mountaineering
Although climbers typically use ropes and harnesses, mountaineering is still a very dangerous hobby. Injuries due to falls are relatively rare, but injuries caused by inexperience are common. To minimize the risk of injury during mountaineering, it is recommended that you check the condition of your equipment before climbing. You also need to be familiar with the rock conditions at the climbing site, check the weather and adequately assess your physical fitness.
6. Parkour
Parkour is mainly practiced in big cities. This is an extreme sport in which a person continuously moves through various obstacles. This sport (and, as many believe, a lifestyle) originally developed from military training in overcoming obstacles. Most injuries that occur during parkour are only superficial; performing more risky stunts can even lead to death.
7. Ice climbing
Ice climbing - overcoming steep ice slopes with the help of special equipment. Typically, fans of this sport climb icefalls, frozen waterfalls and rocks covered with ice. This extreme sport is similar to rock climbing, but it is more dangerous because ice is a more unstable and unpredictable material than rock.
8. Mountain biking
The most extreme version of mountain biking is mountain biking down a steep slope, and over rough terrain. In this sport, the risk of fractures is high, like in no other.
9. Cliffdiving
The most dangerous form of diving and diving is cliff diving - jumping into water from cliffs in natural conditions. They are considered extremely difficult and dangerous to perform. Cliff divers often encounter hidden debris and rocks while diving.
10. Speleology
Speleology - the descent and study of "wild" natural cave systems. It is worth noting that caves are very dangerous places (there are many risks associated with rock collapse, hypothermia, falling from a height, rising water levels, falling stones and physical exhaustion). In addition, rescuing people from caves is often very difficult and time consuming.
11. Encierro
Encierro is a Spanish tradition that involves people running through city streets in front of a group of angry bulls. This strange and extremely dangerous entertainment is practiced in Spain, Portugal, Mexico and the south of France. Every year up to 100 people are injured. Deaths are relatively rare, but do occur.
12. Swimming with sharks
One of the most extreme recreational activities is swimming with sharks, which is usually practiced in a protective cage. However, the bravest swimmers actually do it in open water among ocean predators. Needless to say, even a small shark can easily kill a person.
13. Mushroom picking
Picking mushrooms in the wild does not seem particularly dangerous at first glance. However, there are two good reasons why this can be very dangerous entertainment indeed. There have been many cases where unsuspecting mushroom pickers were attacked by wild animals (for example, bears, wild boars or wolves). There is also always a high chance that you can mistakenly eat a poisonous mushroom. In Europe alone, about 10,000 people die from mushroom poisoning every year.
14. Poker
There are tens of millions of players all over the world. For most of them, this gambling card game is just a way to have fun and maybe earn some extra money. However, there are also people who become too obsessed with the game and end up losing all their money.
15. Sports betting
Sports betting is also an extremely popular hobby, which is somewhat similar to investing in stocks and poker. Unfortunately, this hobby has destroyed many lives, turning into a real mania for some people.
For those who dream of ski slopes, it will be useful to know.

Topic: “Dangerous hobbies of modern teenagers.”
Speaker: Divoinova N.S. educational psychologist
Roofing- walks on the roofs.
Roofers are like the Carlsons of our time, who are drawn to the roofs with terrible force. Armed with a phone, roofers are ready to wander around the attics and roofs of city high-rise buildings for days and take pictures of the views from above. Roofing is deservedly one of the most dangerous entertainments for teenagers. Firstly, entering the roof is illegal, which means that if something happens you will have to take your child from the police station. Secondly, you must admit that even the most peaceful entertainment at the height of a five-story (or more) building cannot be called harmless. His foot slipped, he stumbled, was frightened by a loud sound and stumbled unsuccessfully to the side.
Alternative: paragliding with an experienced instructor, classes at a parachute club.
Planking is a fashionable flash mob that tempts with its accessibility. Its essence is to lie face down in an unusual place and capture it in a photo or video. Wherever modern plankers lie! On benches and curbs, in shopping centers, on escalators! Despite the absurdity and comedy of this hobby, it can lead to tragic events. For the sake of spectacular shots, planners choose the most unusual and extreme places. Photos with a “bar” on protruding elements of monuments, on rails, on balcony railings and on the edge of a roof are circulating on the Internet. Unfortunately, such recklessness does not always end happily.
Alternative: breakdancing, acrobatics, artistic gymnastics.
Hitching is travel outside the passenger compartment of a train or tram (on the roof, on the running board). You've probably seen teenagers riding a tram, clinging to handrails and other protruding parts. The main danger that awaits the hitchhikers is, of course, falling onto the rails under the wheels of a moving train. Your arms or legs will slip, the handrail will come off - and everything can end very tragically. Several dozen such accidents are recorded in Russia every year. Careless teenagers also die from electric shock. Basically, this fate awaits those who like to ride on the roof.
Alternative: any club or section that can captivate a child and cool his craving for dangerous entertainment.
"Dog's thrill."“Dog high” is the deliberate blocking of oxygen access to the brain to obtain a “high.” It would be hard to call “dog high” a hobby or passion, but, unfortunately, this clearly suicidal behavior has followers. For many teenagers, the addiction to this wild entertainment cost their lives, and some were pushed to search for stronger and more deadly sources of “intoxication.” The worst thing is that this infection spreads not only among high school students, but also in middle and even elementary schools! Children do this in groups and alone. The average age is from 12 to 19 years. The idea is simple: first, the teenager increases the pressure with frequent (canine - hence the name) breathing, after which he “strangles” himself with a rope or his comrades do it. Then the rope is removed - and from the rush of blood to the brain, the teenager experiences a feeling of lightness and euphoria. You can tell that a child is addicted to the “dog high” by their behavior and external changes. Marks on the neck, red whites of the eyes, unusual behavior, complaints of headaches - all this can be a signal of trouble. And if you suddenly come across such strange objects as ropes, scarves, or dog leashes in a child’s personal belongings, then you should sound the alarm!
Extreme selfie. Selfie is a photograph of yourself taken on a smartphone and posted on social networks. Extreme selfies are taken by people who put themselves in danger for the sake of a “good” photo.
Alternative: invite your child to participate in online photo competitions, where you need to take a photograph of natural phenomena, wildlife, a profession in the frame, etc.
2. Attracting the attention of criminals. On social networks, children and teenagers talk about everything that happens in their lives. From statuses and photographs alone, you can find out where and when the child, his family members are, when he is left alone, when the apartment is unattended.
3. Cyberbullying.
4. Availability of content 18+
5. Formed dependence on social networks entails problems with concentration, memory impairment, fatigue, vision problems and much more.
6. Propaganda of suicide. Joining “death groups” can end in tragedy.
What causes the obsession with extreme hobbies?
1. Circle of friends. If a child's friends are involved in risky activities, then most likely the son or daughter will also follow the “herd instinct” in order to keep up with their friends.
2. The need for independence and freedom of action. If parents constantly control every movement of their children, then children will engage in extreme sports out of a sense of principle, trying to defend their right to freedom of action.
3. Lack of attention from parents. The opposite situation is that, seeing the lack of attention to his person, the child will demonstrate himself to others, trying to admire him with his dexterity and risky courage.
4. Resentment towards the parent and desire for revenge. The meaning of bad behavior in this case can be expressed as follows: “You did something bad to me - let it be bad for you too!”
5. A teenager may enjoy the sensations that arise from the release of adrenaline because it is physiologically pleasant.
What advice can be given to parents to prevent their children from getting involved in dangerous hobbies and becoming addicted to social networks? I want to tell you one story from the life of our school. On the eve of Teacher's Day, we launched a questionnaire among students with the question: What should a modern teacher be like? To my great surprise, I did not receive answers about a kind, handsome, forgiving person, but every second student wrote about a person who knows how to listen, understands, and is attentive to children’s problems!!! What does this mean? About the fact that children NEED attention, WANT to be heard, and are READY to trust. And if they are ready to trust us - teachers, then how can they not come to their parents for advice. But they can if parents don’t have time, if they are not interested in their child’s friends, hobbies, interests and so on. THEREFORE the main advice is very simple. Be attentive to your children. Know where they spend their free time and who they spend it with. And so that there are fewer thoughts about nonsense, the child should spend as much of his time as possible in sections, clubs, and household chores.
