Debating whether one sport or another is more or less dangerous is not the point I think. The point is, there's no attempt to mitigate risks in what should otherwise be a relatively safe sport/martial art. What's more the Japanese judicial system is showing again failure to deliver justice and it sounds like the school system and the AJJF is both complacent and contempuous of the victims and their families. I find it incredible that such incidents are described as accidents rather than manslaughter. Sounds a lot like the same wall of silence that is now blowing up in the faces of child abusing priests.

Sports/budo is there to improve the mental and physical well being of its participants. It sounds like the instructors are forgetting this.
