I love ping pong and DID suffer an injury during a brutal match at a bar about 10 years ago. I dived way far over the corner of the table to pick up a return which had barely dropped over the net and bruised the shit out of my right leg. I'm a bad ass competitor alright.
The bruise lived for weeks, but the hangover the next day hurt the worst.
All contact sports come with risk of injury and it's the participant's choice to take that risk, that' true. People get hurt playing football, soccer, hockey, basketball....all the time.
I think what turned me off to boxing was that, unlike other sports, physically beating the daylights out of the opponent is the actual goal of the sport and is what determines the winner.
