However I'm surprised you haven't mentioned pickle ball ...
I hear it's responsible for a lot of falls, when played by novices,

Someone in The Villages fell backward while playing pickleball and died. You don't realize how hard the concrete is until you fall down on it. I fell down on my side but was lucky because I just got up and kept playing. Concrete is very unforgiving.
