Assuming it's valid - Not many sports could boast a record like that - possibly chess?

I shoot IPSC (for non-shooters, that's a very fast pistol & exciting pistol match) and safety is always paramount but even I think that's a big call. There's at least one guy in Victoria who has shot his leg while holstering a gun at a range but shooting does have a very safe record especially when you compare it with football and fishing.
