I remember the Malarchuk incident when I was a kid. The blood was just gushing out of him all over the ice. The skate of the player who collided with him sliced his carotid artery, and he’s lucky to have survived that thanks to him receiving immediate attention.

I am a die hard Bengals fan and I remember when Damar Hamlin collapsed. I was getting off work to watch the game with my family, when my oldest sister texted about what happened on the group chat. I obviously knew that it was serious, but the gravitation of it didn't hit me until I got into my Mom's car and I heard the sports announcers talking about what happened on the radio. I just broke down in tears and begged God with all my might to not take him. I didn't stop praying until I had faith Damar was going to be alright. I am so blessed and thankful to God that Cincinnati and Buffalo came together to share each other's pain and support Damar. Even though the incident was almost two months ago, I will still remember it like it was yesterday. #lovefordamar 💙

As tragic was it was, Damar's incident spawned such a beautiful outpouring of support on a few different fronts with the most notable 9 million plus being donated to his charity.

March 31, 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Louisville's Kevin Ware suffered an open tibia fracture. I won't describe it but you can lookup the gruesome injury.

Mick Foley's tooth came through his nose. In the video where he is being helped backstage you can see it stuck there when he smiles. This is the same guy who lost his ear flipping through the ropes for a tie-up. The ropes were too tight and he had force himself out but they pulled one of his ears completely off. A true legend of professional sports entertainment.

Was at that Lions Reggie Brown game. That place got very quiet but with no social media, no one really knew what was going on until you watched the news when you got home. Freaking scary.

No mention of Hank Gathers. The look on his face on the court when he knew something bad was happening to him. Still haunts me.

If they're picking a WWE event, I would think seeing Owen Harts death live would be a more traumatic thing to witness than Mick Foley's injury. Hockey has had many scary incidents but if you are to google the actual video of Clint Malarchuk injury that to me is truly horrific to see.

I’m surprised that Joe Theismann wasn’t on this list. He had one of the nastiest NFL leg injuries, caught on film.

It’s still boggles my mind that Clint Malarchuk actually survived that.

The Monica Seles one is even worse when you find out he only got probation.

I'd of added romain grosjean's crash. It hadn't been that long since the last f1 fatality and I'd of never expected anyone to walk out of that. Was such a tense moment

I was at the Bills home game the week after Hamlin's collapse. The energy at Highmark was so awesome! As well as seeing Buffalo knock the Pats out of the playoff picture. Buffalo needs to Win for Hamlin!

Doctors say Hamlin probably suffered commotio cordis, a rare cardiac event where an impact to the center of the left ventricle right in the upstroke of the T wave (a 20 microsecond period of time when the heart is resetting itself) disrupts the rest of the electrical signals and causes the heart to stop.

Two more I can think of are: 1) Darren Drozdov. Former wrestler from the then WWF. He was in a regular match with another wrestler, D'Lo Brown. When the two were setting up for a powerbomb, Brown wasn't able to get a proper safe grip on Droz when he hit the canvas. He fractured two vertebrae in his neck. While initially Droz was quadriplegic, he has since regained control of his upper body. 2) Zeke Upshaw. Professional Basketball player from the NBA G-League, Zeke collapsed in the final minutes of a game. Immediately rushed to a hospital, the doctors were able to resuscitate him but he would end up passing away two days later. Autopsy showed he died a sudden cardiac death.

I can't believe Mick Foley made the list. It's well deserved. That was the match that made me fall in love with wrestling.

Malarchuk's injury was so bad that 11 people fainted, 2 had heart attacks, and 3 more threw up. Also, Malarchuk's mom was watching that game. He said that he wanted to get off the ice so she wouldn't see him die.

Knew Malarchuk had to be on here. He said his goal was to get off the ice because he didn’t want his mom to see him die

Gotta give Rebecca (the narrator) my utmost respect for delivering a voice so solemn and ominous as she read through the entries on this somewhat eerie list. It definitely felt like a scary moments video.

Seeing Ryan Newman's 2020 Daytona 500 wreck in person was a bone-chilling experience.

The fact that mankind vs undertaker is on here just shows how crazy mick foley is 😭. Respect to all professional wrestlers that sport is brutal as hell and those guys take more damage than some athletes in other sports. After watching things like this you understand that wrestling definitely isn’t fake but it’s scripted.

I'm so glad Hamlin came out of everything relatively unscathed

Kevin Ware's injury nearly a decade ago was one of the worst IMO. That was quite horrifying, I couldn't even look it up again.

As an 8 year old watching that match I truly believed mankind was dead not once but twice and he still finished the match. When I met him I bowed to him because I told him I don't know how in the hell you are still standing with all the injuries you had. You made my childhood thank you for all the memories

I’m shocked that the surfer who was attacked by a shark on live tv during a surf competition wasn’t on here, because that was terrifying!

The Chris Pronger hockey puck strike was memorable for me

What happened to Damar Hamlin was very scary. Glad to hear he’s doing better and out of the hospital.

I was in the stands for two extremely scary incidents, one of which is on this list, the other isn't. My wife and I were in the stands January 2 at Paycor Stadium to watch our favorite football team, the Buffalo Bills, play the Bengals. That crowd was absolutely electric leading up to the game and continued through the first 9 minutes when Damar collapsed. To go from an insane atmosphere to absolute, unsettled silence in the matter of moments, it's beyond eerie. The only announcement made in the stadium by anyone involved with either team or the league was that the game was temporarily suspended. We sat in the stands for close to an hour before word starting going through the stadium (not by anyone official) that both teams had begun packing up their equipment and leaving the stadium. On our walk across the Ohio River back to our hotel, my wife and I were approached by several Bengals fans offering up their condolences and well wishes for Damar. I heard the same from several other Bills fans. The other one I was in the stands for that didn't make this list was in 2008 with the Buffalo Sabres hosting the Florida Panthers. Richard Zednik of the Panthers had gone into the corner and collided with a teammate. It's something you see often in a hockey game, except Zednik's teammate Olli Jokinen's skate had cut his carotid artery. There wasn't much time left in the game and the Sabres had just taken a lead a few minutes prior, but to this day I don't understand why the NHL didn't determine that, being late in the 3rd, enough of the game had been played and just called it there. It was clear that neither the Sabres or Panthers were really engaged in the game after that incident, even though the Sabres would score another goal, there wasn't the celebration you'd see. I think the NHL really failed on that one and the game should have been stopped there.

As a Bolton fan this was a heartbreaking moment thank you to both teams first aiders for their heroic efforts that day

As a Brit, you guys should see the chanting at Spurs ground for Muamba. It was a beautiful sight and sound.

As a Buffalo Sports fan, the Malarchuk and Hamlin incidence hurt bad

One I remember was Dale Earnhardt's crash at Dayton. That was devastating.

Owen Hart died on May 23, 1999, during his entrance from the rafters of Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. The equipment that was lowering him to the ring malfunctioned and he fell to his death in front of a live audience and live on Pay Per View during WWF's Over the Edge event.

Don't forget about Tua, Dale Earnhardt, Owen Hart, and the New Jack stabbing.

Jiri Fischer should've been mentioned too after his scary collapse on the bench during a Red Wings game. It was because of that incident that defibrillators were REQUIRED to be in all NHL and other major/minor hockey arenas

I was shocked that Mick Foley, who was tossed by the Undertaker, through the commentators Spanish table, resulted a serious falling injury during their match in Hell In A Cell match in 1998 King of The Ring pay per view. It was a devastating shock for me to see this scary incident, in one of the darkest moments in wrestling history. Thank God, that he is ok, and he almost die in a match.

I’ve been watching the NFL for 50 years and I saw on television the Joe Thiesman compound fracture. But nothing was as terrifying as Damar Hamlin’s case. Just watching the players’ faces, you knew it was unprecedented. So relieved he survived.

What about about any of the sport incidents from Australia. Jharal Yow Yeh (Rugny League Player) who compound fractured his right ankle during a game and it ended up ending his playing career. Chaz Mostert (V8 Supercars Driver) who crashed his Ford Falcon during qualifying for the Bathurst 1000 and ended up severely breaking his leg.

1:34 to 2:33 This is proof that wrestling is not as fake as some people think.

The Death of Marc-Vivien Foé was or is still the most daunting sports incident I ever witnessed.

Alex McKinnon he played NRL for the Newcastle Knights in Australia Daring a game in 2014 against the Melbourne Storms he suffered a spinal injury whilst getting tackled that left him a Quadriplegic. Also Phillip Hughes playing cricket at the SCG during a Sheffield shield match at the SCG he was batting and ball that was delivered struck him between the neck and head. He collapsed shortly after was on life support for a few days but sadly died. Was just 25

Great video

The scariest I’ve seen in person was at a small college football game when a player suffered a severe broken leg

I forgot the team names but I remember during the NCAA Mens Basketball finals or semis a few yrs back there was that horrific leg snap. It literally looked like the leg was gonna rip in half and the cameras caught the reaction of the team sitting courtside.

There wouldn't have been any video of it, but I don't know how you could not include Ray Chapman who was killed after being hit by a pitch. In 1920, Chapman was one of the best players for the Cleveland Indians. Against the Yankees on August 16th, Carl Mays hit him in the head with a spitball. Chapman was unable to see the pitch because the ball was so dirty. The sound was so loud that Mays thought it hit Chapman's bat and fielded the ball and threw to first base. Chapman was rushed to the hospital unconscious, but passed away during the night. To this day, he remains the only player to die directly from an on the field injury. The Tribe would go on to win the World Series that year and dedicated the victory to his memory. His death lead to the banning of the spitball, the rule requiring umpires to replace dirty balls, and the eventual adoption of batter helmets.

An honorable mention definitely goes to then New York Mets player Kevin Pillar, who was struck in the face by a 94 mph fastball in 2021. I loved watching him play for the Blue Jays (as they're our only Canadian team), so witnessing that injury (on replays) was harrowing and terrifying to see! He only escaped with multiple nasal fractures, and made the full recovery thankfully!

Hamlin and Eriksen are both life-threatening

I would like to add Jerry "The King" Lawler's heart attack scare in Montreal to this list. One of the few pro wrestling moments that ever made me cry and be incredibly anxious that entire night.

That Hell in a Cell match was absolutely one of WWE's scariest moments. Another one (which I'm surprised didn't make it on this list) was at WrestleMania XIX between Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar. Brock attempted a Shooting Star Press but missed the mark and almost broke his neck in that instant.

You guys definitely should do a list of hockey players. Bertuzzi sucker punch, jiri fischer heart attack on the bench, goaltenders passing out, other players getting a skate in the throat or eye (zednin & hall) would be interesting to see a top 10!

I've seen several MLB games involving players getting struck in the head either with the pitched ball or the pitcher getting hit with a line drive right back at him. The worst I remember is Giancarlo Stanton of the Marlins. If you've ever actually held a real game ball and can imagine one traveling upwards of 90 MPH at your skull, you can imagine how damaging that can be.

Inky Johnson's paralyzed arm during a University of Tennessee football game in 2006 was really scary.

Fabrice Muamba had no heartbeat for 78 minutes? Man I need to talk to that guy. I wonder if he saw anything

Honorable mentions: 1. Owen Hart (1999) 2. Darryl Stingley (1978) 3. Marc Vivien Foe' (2003) 4. Hank Gathers (1990) 5. Perro Aguayo Jr. (2015)

God bless them all. Damar Hamlin I knew would would be number one. In all my years of watching football I've never cried for a player. My heart was broken. I checked my ESPN updates constantly. Praise God he is doing so well. 🙏❤️🙏

Profiting off of scary real life events 👍

Mick Foley is the goat. He deserves much more

Worst one I ever saw was David Busst, the Coventry player who broke his leg playing against Man Utd. That thing just snapped in half and there was blood everywhere. The main memory is of Peter Schmeichal having to run away and cover his eyes at the sight.

It’s a miracle that Clint Malarchuk survived such a traumatic thing like that. The skate blade was so sharp, it sliced open his carotid artery and blood poured onto the ice. It was one of the scariest things to ever happen during a hockey game and I’ve seen a hockey player have a seizure on the ice, made worse by the fact that I was actually in the arena attending the game when this happened and I never found out if he survived

Phil Hughes definitely should of made this list, I hate it when usually American channels don't branch out into sports that aren't played there, cause there's also been some pretty bad footy incidents over the years

0:40 I was at that match, that was very brutal and I remember some Chelsea fans didn’t take it too kindly and smashed a few bus windows afterwards.

Malarchuk - Gets his jugular sliced open, almost dies on the ice, back 10 days later. Hockey players are just a different breed.

I remember watching Tom Grossi's stream of the Bills Bengals game when the Damar Hamlin scene happened.

watching Christian Erickson on the ground, not really knowing what was going on was terrifying, and watching his teammate's faces as they stood around him will never leave me. Surprised Cisse getting his leg snapped and Roy Kean ending Haaland Srs career wasn't on here.

1-"Stone Cold" Steve Austin couldn't feel his body after a botched piledriver vs Owen Heart in 1997 ... Austin had a broken neck, but has been able to come back 2- The Zedeno Chara hit on Max Pacioretty in 2011 ... I saw it live and I tought he had died ... the police even made an investigation on the incident

Muamba should not have survived. It's a miracle that they got him back and didn't give up.

I was just listening to this while working, but moment I heard Mick Foley I literally stopped. I remember watching this as a kid and it scared me

How about the Kevin Ware injury? Probably the most gruesome sports injury ever.

Amazed that AFL wasn't on here at all. Some truly shocking accidents and moments in there. This feels more like "most publicized" events

Missed Phillip Hughes or even Alex McKinnon

With the malice at the palace one, I just couldn’t help but laugh when the fans were throwing food and drinks at the players.

You forgot to mention during the match between Mick Foley and Undertaker that the Undertaker broke his ankle as he chokeslam Mankind though the cage

There's also the Formula 1 incident in 2020 where Romain Grosjean was trapped in a burning F1 car for more than 2 minutes and no one thought he could have survived.

Fun fact: Malarchuks injury was also non fatal because at Buffalos arena, the medical center was behind the Sabres net, if it was a different period, he wouldve been a lot farther and who knows what wouldve happened

How is Hank Gathers' collapse and death on the court not up here?

Thank Goodness Damar Hamlin is doing Better. That was scary to watch. 🙇🏿‍♂️

My first ppv I watched when I was a kid was that king of the ring I will never believe how insane that was and made me a life long fan of Foley

What about the dude that died in a match with Rey Mysterio?

Being a bills fans is a tough thing. I was praying constantly to make sure that Hamlin would pull through. And luckily it happened.

I’m surprised there was no mention of Marc Vivien Foe, Antonio Puerta, or Miklos Feher, who all ended up dying due to heart problems while on the pitch

A moment I’m surprised wasn’t included was what happened to former St. Louis Blues player Jay Bouwmeester. During a game against the Anaheim Ducks a few seasons ago, he suddenly collapsed on the bench due to cardiac arrest. He thankfully survived and was able to recover, but he never played ice hockey again. It was a very scary moment.

As a NASCAR fan, not a lot of injuries happen nowadays but I remember Kyle Busch braking both his legs and Denny Hamlin braking his back, 2022, Carson Hocevar got a plate due to someone t-boning him in the driver side door, he raced through the pain though which was very cool to see

You know there’s deep and serious content when the narrator’s voice is subdued like that

Abdelhak Nouri’s incident always gets me. Wishing he can fully recover soon😢❤️‍🩹

What about Rich Peverly from the Dallas Stars that had a cardiac event and wanted to be put back into the game (from the meme), thought for sure he'd be on this list

Damar was so concerned about the game when he woke up I don’t know whether to laugh or cry I’m glad he recovered and returned to his family

Watch ⌚ mojo is a good channel

For football it should be Johny Knox injury that was super scary and traumatizing to watch

Did you do more than superficial research for this??? No mention of the Boston Bruins going into the stands at MSG on 23 December 1979. No mention of the HORRENDOUS career ending break to Joe Theismann's leg on 18 November 1985. But the absolute worse mistake is not only did you not mention New England Patriots Darryl Stingley's injury on 12 August 1978 at all but I argue that that should've been number one! Stingley took a hit from Jack Tatum in a pre-season game & suffered compression of his spinal cord & broke two of his vertebrae. Stingley never regained the use of his arms or legs. He died in 2007 from an illness brought on by the complications of quadriplegia. Tatum never apologized for what happened to Stingley & he never spoke with him after the hit. Could you are least pretend to research!! 🙄

I'm surprised to not see a single motorsport incident on the list... although I guess there would be enough moments for an entire list of its own.

That Malarchuk incident was nightmare fuel

Man I watched the Kevin Ware injury. I’m surprised it ain’t make the list

No.10 - the knee to the head was definitely deliberate.

Honorable mention- Joe theisman all i gotta say!!! 💯💯💯💯💯👍

I am glad that damar Hamlin is okay and out of the hospital

That Petr Cech incident where Stephen Hunt kicked him in the head is a weird one for me because I’m a Chelsea supporter but my granddad is best mates with Stephen Hunt’s dad

2 Chicago Bears injuries could be on this list. Zach Miller, a Bears tight end, had his knee bend backwards while catching a touchdown. He damaged arteries and almost lost his leg and life. ALSO, Johnny Knox, a wide receiver, got bent in half backwards on the field in a collision with a larger player, I believe a Seahawks player, and his back was broken. BOTH were pretty horrific.

Here is my top 10 from the NHL: 1. Clint Malarchuk's neck slashed 2. Bill Masterton's fatal injury 3. Jiří Fischer's heart stops 4. Richard Zedník's neck cut 5. Ondřej Pavelec collapses 6. Chris Pronger takes puck to chest 7. Rich Peverley's heart stops 8. Trent McCleary takes puck to throat 9. Jay Bouwmeester's heart stops 10. Bryan Berard's eye injury Here is my top 10 from non-NHL hockey: 1. Alexei Cherepanov collapses 2. Travis Roy is paralyzed 3. Tucker Tynan's leg slashed 4. Chris Atkinson's neck slashed 5. Ronny Keller is paralyzed 6. Garrett Klotz's post-fight seizure 7. Ben Fanelli suffers fractured skull 8. Mike Coleman takes skate to spine 9. Greg Neeld loses an eye 10. Michael McNamara's heart stops

Unless it is further back in the comments, I am surprised no one mentioned the 2008 SEC Basketball tournament. One of the games went into overtime just minutes before an EF-2 tornado scraped the side of the Georgia Dome and flipped cars in the parking deck. You could hear the roar on the video feed, and the building and ceiling were shaking.
