In miles driven, the motorcyclist are at a high risk of crash than an automobile driver and a study conducted by the university of California showed that wearing of helmet reduces the risk by 29 percent.

Extreme Weight Loss in Wrestling Every sport has its dark side: a side in which it is acceptable to participate in but socially look down upon. Major media sports such as football and baseball have steroids, cycling has blood doping and wrestling has extreme weight loss. Extreme weight loss, or “cutting weight,” as it is called within the wrestling community, is when somebody loses an unimaginable amount of weight in an insufficient amount of time. The weight loss can range anywhere between five pounds in half an hour to even thirty pounds in three weeks. As a wrestler I have been surrounded by this epidemic for more than fifteen years and at times have even fallen victim to it.
There is an estimated 316,000 injuries per year from horseback riding. THAT’S 3X THE AMOUNT OF HOCKEY INJURES!!!! Along with and averaged 100 deaths per year from riding horses. Most of these injuries are head injuries from falling of the horse because after the fall the rider is able to be trampled and kicked which can result in worse injuries. Even though it is a law that you are required to wear a helmet you can land on you head in a fall and break bones in your neck and back.
Accidents are on the rise, in fact in 2012 there were 3,921 people killed and 104,000 people injured in crashes involving large trucks. Fatalities in crashes involving large trucks increased by 4-percent in 2012 (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 2012, DOT HS 811 868). This may not seem like a lot but it is. I think we can all remember times when we have been driving on the interstate and after seeing semi's on the road it makes you kind of nervous. These are monster trucks that are on the road carrying tons of weight and have the ability to cause a lot of destruction if they are not respected by their drivers.
Teenagers are reckless and we must do everything reasonable to prevent deaths. Raising the driving age will cut the number of accidents on the roads. Teenage drivers are much more likely to have accidents than older drivers. In the USA there were over 30 000 deaths in crashes involving 15-17 year old drivers between 1995 and 2004 (Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association, RMIIA). Raising the driving age by a year or two will greatly reduce these accidents and deaths.

Vehicle rollover has been identified as the vehicle crash with highest fatality. Rollover crashes are among the most significant of all safety problems for all classes of light vehicles, especially pickups, Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV), Light Trucks Vehicle(LTV) and vans. About 8,242people were killed in light vehicle rollover crashes, which constitutes almost one fifth of 40,080 crash victims in USA, in 2010. According to NHTSC in year 2010, 7% of light vehicle crashes involved rollover, but these crashes accounted for 31% of light vehicle occupant fatalities.

Shelby Karpman, a physician who has been involved in numerous MMA events during the past 20 years. Sekeres starts the article by quoting Karpman as saying a “ban would only drive the sport underground, and lead to increased health risks” and banning the competitions “will only generate more injuries and deaths” (Sekeres, S2). Dr. Karpman states in the article that he “has worked in all those sports [boxing, hockey and football], and said the injuries he has witnessed in MMA, and the latest research, do not justify a medically-endorsed ban”. Dr. Karpman has experience in medically supervising over 200 matches and watching more than 2,000 fights. “The Ultimate Fighting Championship held its first Vancouver event in June, and a nearby hospital treated broken limbs, cuts and severe bruises, but not brain injuries.
