In the US alone, there were more than 20,000 reported injuries last year alone, making cheerleading the world’s most injury-prone sport in the world for women. In fact, the girls on the sidelines are more at risk of hurting themselves than the guys on the football field. Broken legs and spinal injuries are not uncommon when performing these extraordinary moves. With the sport becoming increasingly popular within schools and universities in the UK, accident like this are surely common place:

This winter will no doubt provide the public with a number of extreme activities to indulge in. You may choose skiing, you may choose snowboarding, you may even choose to take up tobogganing. But, to this group of Eastern Europeans in the following video, the snow is completely irrelevant. It’s just another day in the abandoned tower block, and they want to bungee jump. The fact that they don’t have any of the correct equipment will not stand in their way!
Bungee jumping is available across the world at any time of the year, making it a very popular thrill-seeking activity. I’m going to have to insist however that you do take every precaution necessary in order to keep yourself safe, unlike our friends in the video. Ansell’s extreme activity insurance is the safest way to cover yourself and others when partaking in activities such as bungee jumping and others similar such as skydiving, BASE jumping and abseiling.

Many of us like to push ourselves to the limit when it comes to adrenalin-filled activities but this news report from china shows the danger that could be lurking around the corner (or crossing the middle of the road) when partaking in such pursuits as motor cycling. Miraculously this young man from china uses his amazing dexterity to survive this collision without a scratch, but the same cannot be said for his bike!
For those of you who do not happen to be trained in any kind of martial art and years of ninja school, Extreme Activities Insurance from Ansell would be a wise investment for those looking to participate in track days, or activity weekends that would include motor cycling. Insurance is also available for similar activities such as off-road dirt biking and BMX’ing.
Remember, this clip could and should have ended very differently so look out for the safety or yourself and others around you when involved in such hobbies.
