Asian Games Most Dangerous Sport

Posted by Bill Belew on December 9th, 2006 in Asia | No Comments

I would have never thought so, but, if the sport can bring down superman, it must be dangerous.

A South Korean rider, Kim Hyung-chil, was killed when his horse stumbled on its 8th jump and fell on him, crushing him in the equestrian event.

The rider was rushed to the hospital, but never recovered consciousness.

Superman, Christopher Reeve, did not die from falling off a horse, but he stopped flying and a stopped doing a lot of other things.equestrian.jpg

My son is an athlete. My heart goes out to the family and loved ones of this rider, lost, while doing what he does best.

    This is really harsh.
    But things happen. I would have never thought people could hurt themselves while doing dance, but I did. I got injured while I was practising spin of salsa dance (which is my favorite by the way) at home.
    Lucky me, It’s recovered…
