Del replies :
No fatalities in Quidditch ? I can't find any reference right now, but
I think I remember reading that this isn't exactly true.

 

Steve here: 

I can't find the references either, but I phrased it wrong. I meant not a
total lack of fatalities, but relatively few compared to the dangerous
nature of the sport. Anyone can die at any time doing anything. The WW
medicine and hardiness would probably make quidditch as dangerous for
wizards as muggle sports are to us. Sure people die playing football,
hockey, and the like, but the numbers are low enough that I wouldn't
classify them as dangerous.
