The more enthusiasts partake in extreme sports, the more dangers are mentioned. But the truth is that the dangers of such activities are manageable, so why ban them at all?

What is acceptable risk for these partakers may be unacceptable for others.To those who fear, extreme sports are more prone to injure people than other common sports, as they place extreme demands on strength, stamina and adaptability to the perilous environment. High-altitude challenges – skydiving and bungee jumping, for example, drastically increase the risk of heart attack, and others like rock-climbing may cause head injuries or even fatal falls.Inherently dangerous as these activities seem, they have always been safety-conscious. With participants undergoing rigorous training and assessment and with professionals accompanying, the danger coefficient has been reduced to extremely low.

With this in mind, people should objectively treat extreme sports, not hastily take out aninjunction against it. As a matter of fact, these events, in the form of adventure, free thrill-seekers from traditional stadiums and lead them to head out into the wilderness, where human potential could be evoked and human limits challenged. The excitement and exhilaration generated from this is unparalleled in other sports and can be a great stress reliever. From an ability-development point of view, many extreme moves, such as diving and scrambling, require millions of exercises. This, frustration education, builds trainees’ independence and perseverance. There seems to be no strong reason, then, to ban participants from getting involved.
