Bullfighting 

Bullfighting is a cruel activity. In a Spanish bullfight, men called matadors engage in a fight with a terrified and confused bull within a confined ring. Throughout the fight, the bull is subjected to torture and weakened by various weapons such as spears, spikes, and daggers. These weapons inflict immense pain, causing the bull to suffer from blood loss.

After enduring approximately 15 minutes of extreme agony, the matador finally kills the exhausted bull. Due to the matador's lack of precision, many bulls end up drowning in their own blood as their lungs are pierced instead of their hearts. Following this, a short dagger called a puntilla is used to sever the bull's spinal cord at the neck before it is removed from the arena. In the most severe cases, the bull may still be clinging to life as it is taken away.

This so-called "sport" is considered so violent that it is prohibited from being broadcasted on television in Spain, particularly on TVE-Spain's state-run channel.

Heli-Skiing 

Heli-skiing is a form of downhill skiing that can only be reached by helicopter. These areas have remained untouched for a reason. If you've ever fantasized about vast open terrains and no waiting in lift lines, then this is the activity for you. However, those who pursue this sport are often considered daring and put their lives at risk for the ultimate thrill. Countries like France have taken measures to prohibit this extreme sport.

Supercross 

When watching the comedic show called Dumbest Stuff on Wheels, you'll witness athletes performing dangerous stunts on motorcycles. These stunts include flying into the air, doing backflips, and even taking their hands off the handlebars, putting their lives at risk.

Snowmobiling 

Snowmobiling can be a dangerous activity, particularly in icy and unmarked areas. Every year, riders lose their lives in collisions with other snowmobiles, cars, pedestrians, and trees.

High Altitude Mountain Climbing 

Mountain climbing is a potentially deadly activity. High Altitude Mountaineering, like climbing Everest and other 8000 meter peaks, is extremely dangerous and results in fatalities every year. In fact, it is difficult to think of a more perilous activity on the planet. In 2001, Babu Chiri Sherpa, one of the most skilled Everest climbers, tragically lost his life after a misstep led to a fall into a crevasse. Despite his expertise, Sherpa had successfully reached the summit 10 times.

Base Jumping 

Base jumpers are individuals who feel the need to jump from buildings, antennas, bridges, and cliffs with only a parachute. There is a high risk of being slammed into objects by the wind. This activity is not only deadly, with 5 to 15 deaths reported each year according to The International PRO BASE Circuit, but it is also banned in many countries, including the U.S.

Cave Diving 

Cave diving is similar to skiing in many ways. There are two types of cave divers: those who explore sites that have already been explored and mapped out, benefiting from the risks taken by others, and Exploration Cave Divers who seek out new sites and aim to be the first to explore them. This type of diving is comparable to a snow skier jumping out of a helicopter onto an untouched mountain peak, and it carries a significant amount of risk, resulting in approximately 500 deaths per year.

The latter type of cave diving should be prohibited, particularly in Mexico where it is extremely dangerous. The most likely causes of death include running out of air, equipment failure, and getting lost.

Running with the Bulls
