Guess what's the least dangerous sport in the Winter Olympics?

Go ahead and guess (hint: it involves the use of live ammunition):


Strangely, the WaPo article somehow didn't mention to its readers that Biathlon involves the keeping and bearing of arms.  I'm sure that it was an innocent oversight.

    Wait - curling has an injury rate? Is it from dropping the stone on your toes? Or is it beer-related?

    Graybeard, curling is from Scotland, via Canada. Of course beer is involved.

    What? GUNS, and it's less dangerous than curling?

    I'm aghast!

    PS - Don't they use BROOMS in curling?

    The part that fascinates me is that adding a rifle appears to make cross country skiing three times safer.
