I remember our wrestling coach constantly comparing the sport to womens' sports with higher injury rates.
"No need to be careful - this isn't [cheerleading|womens' soccer|volleyball] where you could actually get hurt"
- jdeibele 3y agoThat's a fun anecdote. I referee high school and youth wrestling and there are several coaches who are paraplegic or quadriplegic because of neck or spinal injuries they got wrestling. I assume there are other injured people who didn't want to have anything to do with the sport after their injury.
