I never did get around to trying sky-diving, but I was a wiz on my pogo stick. Used to be able to pogo up and down the football bleachers, and the stairway down to our cellar–which, if my mother had ever seen me doing that, she would have boiled me in oil.
But, as we shall see from this video, every sport carries with it an element of risk. And some more than others.
Ouch! That hurt to even watch.
I did okay on a pogo stick but no way could I go up and down stairs like some superheroes, ha ha.
Isn’t kenjutsu an extreme sport?
No–considering you’re not allowed to cut or strike anyone. You can, upon occasion, cut yourself, but only slightly: part of the price of learning how to draw the sword properly.
