twincityhackerToday's fencing gem: "Don't do that. It's a great way to break your sword."
Even though I'm studing the "most dangerous weapon" - foil blades are flimsy little blighters, and when they brake they have a sharper point because they're a a bit thinner in the circumfrence of the blade - fencing is still safer than golf, as no one has ever died in fencing sport in the US. I'm sure that some idiots snuffed it in a duel or two, though.
I'd update with more interesting things, but I do fencing and I go to class and that's pretty much it. Though I kinda wish they'd turn on the heat!
