I dont think that extreme sport should be banned, because many people will be unemployed
ReplyDeleteArguments for extreme sports: it's a lot of fun, it's the possibility of being outdoors, you can enjoy the freedom and the challenge, you can test yourself, these sports are original, you can burn off your energy and keep fit.
ReplyDeleteArguments against extreme sports: it's can be dangerous, you can hurt yourself and even die.
I think extreme sports can't be banned because people like them. i also like them. and i think people should be responsible for their decisions. if you don't want to do extreme sport, just don't do it. and if you want to do it, you should understand what the consequences can be.
I agree with Tanya that people should be responsible for their actions and be aware of the consequences, but the problem is that teenagers who are so attracted by these sports are not very responsible people and their thoughtless actions can cause a lot of harm both to them and their relatives.
ReplyDeleteI agree that when a teenager get a serious ingury it becomes almost a tragedy for the whole family. but everyone should have the opportunity to express themselves, and I believe that if a teenager has a head on his shoulders and he is attract by extreme sports is only because it is required by the soul, and does not go on about the public, then there is nothing wrong with that. the important in thing this case to support it by purchasing the necessary equipment. But the worst thing in extreme sports is that it might have a negative influence on the human psyche, and especially teenagers.as far as extreme sports are very harmful to wind down, stay feet and practice team skills you can go in for such traditional sports as ice hokey or baseball.
ReplyDeleteSome people love extreme sports, because of fun and adrenaline. But in the same time it’s a big danger. We saw only one accident, but there are a lot of them. Moreover before doing this sport, people must sign the document that they have no problems with there hurt or something like this.
ReplyDeleteI truly think that extreme sports can not be banned. Some people can’t live without challenge. Some want to have new feelings. They want to push themselves, to see, how far they can go. They make new records, but only if you are very lucky you do it. All in all they make a choice by themselves and nobody force them.
Only if you are lucky ...
DeleteI think that extreme sports are very popular in our life. It is good cure for boredom but it's can very dangerous. There are cases of fatal but people do it and can't stop. There are some reasons why people do extreme sports and why extreme sports can't be banned. Firstly, it is a good way to demonstrate your's courage. Secondly, for some people it is a way of life. Third, it can be a mean of earning money. Extreme sports can't be banned because people MUST be responsible for themselves. If I could do extreme sports, I'd be doing.
ReplyDeleteThen what stops you?
DeleteBut you should have will power (силу воли) to stop at any time, because you can steal your family, job and money.
DeleteI think that extreme sport is a good reason to test yourself and watch how far you can go. Also this kind of sport help you to throw your negative energy and get a lot of endorphin. But history knows many fatal cases. A lot of them were due to non-compliance with safety. I think that people always will want to do extreme sport and nothing will stop thrill seekers. But we can solve this problem. we can build special centers where people will do what they want without any threat to their lives.
ReplyDeleteWill it be possible to go sky diving or scuba diving in such centres? Anyway, I don't think they will solve the problem of safety. It's just fantasy.
DeleteIn fact, it is difficult to answer this question, but in my opinion extreme sports are required in our life and society. In our developing world we can't cope with our aggression, there is no place to find strong emotions. But it is widespread! Man who jumps with a parachute, is not aggressive to women and children. His negative emotions he burns in his extreme hobby. In overseas countries (Czech Republic, Hungary)parkour clubs cooperate with the police. As a result, children are not breaking the law.Moreover adrenaline is a rush(кайф). And I think this kind of pleasure is less dangerous than alcohol or drugs.
ReplyDeleteIn my view, the sky diver's rush is a cruel action towards his dear women's feelings. I mean his mother and girlfriend who could have got grey while he was jumping.
DeleteBut when you want to do extreme sport you should to push yourself not be afraid. And someone needs to help you achieve your goal. You can sign up to a special school for the full training
DeleteIf a person have special skills he is ready for any situation and can cope with all the problems. And he can offer his girfriend to dive in skies with him. And she will have a chance to experience all the ecstasy.
ReplyDeleteBut you can't rely only on your own strength and skills. You have rely on equipment and nature which might let you down.
DeleteI agree with you. But if you train in a special club, the chance of accident is reduced. And you should practice in good weather. But the chance of an accident is still there. And the essence of extreme sports to try your luck.
DeleteI agree with all of you, but to do extreme sports you have to be brave. But there are a lot of extreme sports wich are not dangerous and the gives you as many adrenaline as dangerous and i prafer them. We can argue for a long time about arguments for and against extreme sports,can't we?And becouse of great dangerous this sports i prefere comperative sport(dancing)."There are a lot of people wich want to look how far they can go". They don't think that it is dangerous becouse they are adrenalin junkies.As for me i don't want to be "eaten with tied legs by crocodile in black water".
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm neutral to the extreme sport.
Yan
Yes, Yan. I prefer dancing too.
DeleteFirstly I want to apologize for what I've written so late. I was very wrong but in my comment I will do my best to improve your opinion about me.
ReplyDeleteOk, let’s start. As for me and I think for many people in the world extreme sports are not only the way of life, they are whole life. They help us to understand how far we can go, to test ourselves against elements and nature at all. Also we need adrenalin and extreme sports give it to us. They give us huge amount of positive emotions. Furthermore they help us to understand how powerful nature is and how small we really are. ‘Sometimes you have to go up really high to see how small you really are’. Felix Baumgartner said this phrase after his free fall from the edge of space. And finally extreme sports are sport and sport makes us health wealthy and wise.
There are lots of points for extreme sports and in my view only one against. Yes some of them are dangerous. But they dangerous only if someone doesn’t have enough skills.
maybe there are lots of mistakes but i try)
DeleteYou are right that there is perhaps one argument against extreme sports, but in my opinion, it overweighs all the arguments for.
DeleteP.S. By the way, there are not so many mistakes :)
