What's the worlds most dangerous and extreme sport?
Discussion
High Altitude Mountaineering has probably the highest statistical fatality rate. Anything above 8000 metres.
Especially as it can affect absolutely anyone, so all participants are at risk (unless you are a sherpa I suppose)
Would be interesting to see a proper stats list.

Unlikely as it seems, rock fishing (here in Aus) is right up there in the fatality stakes.
It would surely be much safer just to quarry them! Flipping the coin, there are some extreme sports where it amazes me that people don't kill themselves more frequently. The Red Bull Rampage is a good example of this.
