<![CDATA[How would you react to a situation that comes along with a lot of fun and risk to your life? Here is the list of a few sports that can give you shivers even at a mere thought.
Dare to breathe
Sub-aqua Ice Hockey or underwater hockey is Canada’s favorite sport. The game is played upside-down. Nets are also installed upside-down. The participants’ play under almost 15 cm of ice covered surface, they hold their breath and play the game. They come up to the surface after every 30 seconds, as they do not have any breathing equipments underwater. The fact that makes it risky is that the players need to come up the entrance or exit holes to breathe, failing which can cost them their lives. Germany, Netherland, Poland and Slovenia are a few countries where this sport is played. (Image)
Go grab the Cheese
Cheese rolling includes a round of Gloucester Cheese rolling from a big mountain and people as a mob running after it to catch. The game gets fun when you have hundreds of other participants pushing each other to make way for them. Whoever manages to run faster gets the cheese and gets to be the winner. This bizarre race takes place on already slippery and wet grass that makes it harder for the participants to go an inch further on it. (Image)
Get muddy
Bog snorkeling started in the UK, and is played on a wet spongy ground with less or no drainage at all. Participants put on snorkels and they use flippers to move ahead in the game. The ground is almost 60 yard long and participants cannot use conventional swimming strokes, which makes it harder. The participants have to go for two consecutive rounds and the one who reaches first wins the game. (Image)
Jump of a lifetime
The competitors tie thick tree vines around their bodies and jump from almost 60 feet wooden towers. They go too close to the land that causes them injuries also. The locals of Pentecost Island of Vanuatu play this sport, which involves a lot of risk. Unlike bungee jumping, these vines run a high risk of snapping. The competitors may hit the ground hard with their shoulders or head, which can prove fatal. (Image)
Wait and watch
The next game involves a different kind of risk. The competitors put two ferrets in their pants after tying their pants on the edges and see how long can they bear the pain of these ferrets biting their genitals. Though the sport is a little tricky, it is painful as well. (Image)
Run for your life
Imagine bulls after you at eight in the morning and that too when the cobbled road if full of all daring people running all around. In a seven days festival of San Fermin of Pamplona, Spain this thrilling sport engages bulls running after people to smack them down. Loads of people face injuries, which sometimes do prove fatal.

Muddy and wacky
