Is this the Hardest Hit in Non-Contact Sport History?

[IGotAHugePeckah]

Pete Rose would be proud of that hit

Here's a Jai Alai accident. Faster than murrican stick ball.

Is this still a sport? I thought I saw a guy play this in a Bruce Willis movie or something

The hardest hit is to watch a Baseball game. That puts me to sleep for like 10 hours.

Damn what a terrible sport.

 

[RagingBeringola]

Hardest hit, and best looking too as an added bonus

Reminds me of Barrichelo also taking off at Imola in 1994. Good he just came out of it with a broken foot.


I won't post Senna's accident full speed frontal against a wall in the same race.

Jai alai[edit]
Main article: Jai alai
This is the version known outside Europe as jai alai. It is called zesta punta in Basque[7] and cesta-punta in Spanish (literally: 'edged basket'). It uses a special glove that extends into a long pointed curved basket (hence the name), circa 60 cm long in straight line and 110 cm by curved line. The basket (xistera in Basque and chistera in French) was introduced by Gantchiqui Dithurbide from Saint-Pée, France in 1860,[8] and its long version by Melchior Curuchage, from Buenos Aires in 1888.[8] The players use it to catch the rubber ball and propel it back against the main court. The Basque Government claims it as "the fastest game on Earth", the record being 302 km/h or 187.65 mi/h (José Ramón Areitio at the Newport Jai Alai, Rhode Island, USA on 3 August 1979[8]).

Ball speeds of 160mph-190mph are certainly impressive, but that's not coming back off the wall, and that ball is hard rubber, so it's not like getting beaned with a baseball.

The hit in the OP is straight vicious. A person has to be out of his mind to fear this basket-ball-bean more than that hit.

The ball was too fast for the potato camera. Average speed of 120 mph. It's max recorded speed is 204mph. They just made helmets mandatory in the late 60s after a couple of casualties.

Nothing special about that.

Another one, although neither player was really at fault

 

[n...not crazy]

You said non-contact...

 

[mjmj]

I remember this sport from an episode of Miami Vice back in the 80's.

This is the first time I have seen it since!

I'll be damned, I started to think my memory was playing tricks on me. I remember that episode too, and have wondered for years if that was a real sport.

 

[Hyperglide]

I'd say so.

Do you consider NHL a non-contact sport cause it's not MMA?



Lastly,
Michael Sauer getting obliterated by Phaneuf.

No.

There's never been a hockey game without 'contact.'

 

[Hyperglide]

No.

There's never been a hockey game without 'contact.'

Womens ice hockey??

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Womens ice hockey??

So they're not allowed 'contact' because they're women? Sounds sexist.

Anyway, hockey is as much as a contact sport as football.

Cricket looks like a Monty Python skit where they do random things competitively

Once you understand the rules, it becomes a very exciting sport. Here, let these Dutch guys explain it you.

This one never fails to get me to lose it. Just brilliant.

Its more recent, slightly less brutal version:



The craziest thing is how Higuain didn't get injured.

 

[BillytheFish]

except that hurling is a contact sport
