The World Most Dangerous Sports

| |
Just read some articles on the title <<The World's Most Dangerous Sports>>. Out of the it, 1 of them i'm doing now - Scuba Diving.  While there are several sports I intented to do in coming future Cave & Free Diving. I'm wondering my current insurance will covers me of all these activities.

    Well I think i must clarify that doing Scuba Diving is much much more safer than driving car / riding motorcycle / walking in our federal roads/highways.  Just have a look the fatal road accidents during the recent holidays, the death toll is much more higher than the Scuba Diving accident happened in WORLDWIDE.  Probably less than 1%.  We should add one more item..  DRIVING is one of <<The World's Most Dangerous Activities>>.  hahaha

    As Scuba Diving is defined as one of <<The World's Most Dangerous Sports>>, divers even to pay extra precautions while doing it. Prior the certification, diver needs to undergo courses on the theory of scuba diving, understanding of gears, hand signals, possible dangers, and etc. Frankly speaking, it is quite easy to obtain a basic diving license.  But whether the diver really absorb what he/she has learned, that's vary.  Scuba diving is almost the same environment compare to an astronaut in the space.  No air, can't speak & no emergency exit.  When something happens, a diver have to based on what he/she has learned to overcome it / to minimise the risk -> zero risk.

   So, how do you define dangerous?   High risk activities?   Crossing street, riding motorcycle, driving a car, cooking in the kitchen, swimming, ......  Do you think these activities are safe?  Cars might bang you as you walking or riding, on the other hand you might bang others while you are driving.  Let's minimize it.  Then insurers will be happy to insure us.  Cheers!
