I would suggest that you try sports which are individual based than team based cause much of the injury seems to occur in sports which involves multiple number of players and participants.

Badminton, tennis, volleyball, water polo, these are some of the sports that are safe. Soccer, basketball, baseball, cricket tend to be the sports where people get injured beyond their expectations.
