Extreme sports
I’m going to talk about extreme sports and what the possible
benefits and dangers are of participating in such sports. I will also express
my personal opinion about extreme sports compared to other sports.
Extreme sports include activities such as
snowboarding, hang gliding and ice climbing. They are usually done by individuals
although white water rafting is an extreme sport that involves team effort. All
extreme sports involve a high level of danger. The risk involved is controlled
by the skill the person has and this is achieved through experience.
One of the benefits of extreme sports is that they
bring new experiences. For example, they add excitement and adventure to your
life. They are challenging because the participants compete against forces of
nature and in doing so they experience an adrenaline rush. People also say that
they like the feeling of being daring. They get a strong sense of freedom doing
these sports, because overcoming the challenges is liberating. Clearly they are
a great form of exercise and they can help you get fit too.
However, although extreme sports provide thrills, they
can also be dangerous. The risk of injury is very high if athletes lose
control. It is true, of course, that people can be quite badly injured just
playing a friendly game of football. Injuries such as broken legs are not
uncommon, but the risks involved with extreme sports are far greater. If you
lose control of a hang glider and crash, it is very likely that you would break
bones, injure your back or even get concussion. Falling from a great height, I
think you would be very lucky indeed to escape serious injury.
Personally, I’d prefer not to do extreme sports, in
spite of the fact that they look very exciting. Although I admire what some of
these people do, I’m not very keen on the idea of doing something that is
dangerous and carries a high risk of serious injury. I’d rather keep my feet on
the ground and jump to put a ball in the basket along with my team. I prefer
sport that has a set of rules to ensure the safety of the players. I think I
will leave others to enjoy the challenge and risk of extreme sports.
