The Dangers of Curling--Yes, I Said Curling and Danger [GIF]

The majority of people in the United States (yes, I know there are curling fans here too) look at curling and think--WTF? It's like shuffleboard on ice with really big hockey pucks. However, in many countries all over the world the sport is taken pretty serious and can get intense at times.

So intense that if you are not careful you might have a 40 pound stone take your legs out when you aren't looking!

That's what happened here to young Andrey Drozdov of the Russian team. The 25-year old skip was so focused on his task that he wasn't ready when one of the stones hit another and sent it sliding his way.

Those stones can be anywhere from 38-44 pounds so when it takes you out it really takes you out!
