Ironically, thanks to the potentially lethal weaponry used as equipment, archery and target shooting. Swimming is also relatively safe. Distance running might result in repetitive stress injury, but it won't kill you. Slow-pitch softball eliminates most of the risks from baseball. Hit by pitch and RSI from pitching are the dangers there. Cycling removes some of the RSI risk from distance running, but replaces it with higher-speed impacts, usually into hard surfaces. Edit: It depends on your definition of "team sport", really. If you define it such that you can't meaningfully separate out any individual performances, you're cutting out all relay-type competitions from the start. If you say archery is not a team sport, then neither is a swimming relay race. Where do you draw the line? What's the minimum number of participants that have to work together to qualify as a team?
