Answer 2

i would say skateboarding there are alot more injuries, because your on pavement and metal rails, and you fall alot more often, but i would say falls in gymnastics  cause alot more serious injuries, and the sport its self is alot more athletic, your alot of times 10 feet in the air and your not landing on a skateboard , its just you and the floor, and its defintely not on a ramp so the impact is much greater

Answer 3

i think gymnastics because it looks like you get a much worst impact when you fall all the way to the ground at the speed your going towards the ground. while skating you still go fast but you go horizontally not vertically. and you really only get bruises because that's really all i get and if your really do get injured its just your ankle or wrist. but in gymnastics its a lot mainly your head.

Answer 4

Gymnasitcs has more serious injuries like breaks and sprains while Skateboarding has more of grazes, bruises and bumps

Answer 5

gymnastics. i get injured basically every time i set foot in the gym LOL. rips on hands, trips off beam, my bodys covered in rips and bruises! this morning i went and slipped on a back flick, hurt the top of my arm. i couldnt move it up or feel it for a while, so i did beam while it "recovered". gym is so fun though.

Answer 6

gymnastics causes more carear ending injuries but skateboarding has more bumps brusies and scrapes

Answer 7

i am not sur, every single time i go out skating i end up with multiple bruises and find blood in random spots. And i am not exaggerating, every time i go out. I doubt that happens in gymnastics.

P.S. There is no safe padding down a 9 stair case.

Answer 8

There are a lot more skateboarders than there are gymnasts, so if you're just talking about numbers, there would be more skateboarding injuries.  But percentage-wise, gymnastics definitely has more injuries... and much more severe ones.  A recent study published in a medical journal listed gymnastics and cheerleading as the two most dangerous sports for girls.
