Extreme Sports (Agree or Disagree Essay)



Extreme sports such as sky diving and skiing are very dangerous and should be

banned.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?


In recent years, extreme sports have become increasingly popular, and some people argue

that governments should prohibit them. I completely disagree with the idea that these

sports are too dangerous, and I therefore believe that they should not be banned.

In my opinion, so-called extreme sports are not as dangerous as many people think. All

sports involve some element of risk, and there should always be clear regulations and

safety procedures to reduce the possibility of accidents. People who take part in extreme

sports are usually required to undergo appropriate training so that the dangers are

minimised. For example, anyone who wants to try skydiving will need to sign up for lessons

with a registered club, and beginners are not allowed to dive solo; they must be

accompanied by an experienced professional. Finally, the protective equipment and

technology used in sports from motor racing to mountain climbing is constantly improving

safety.


While I support regulations and safety measures, I believe that it would be wrong, and

almost impossible, to ban extreme sports. In the first place, we should all be free to decide

how we spend our leisure time; as long as we understand the risks, I do not believe that

politicians should stop us from enjoying ourselves. However, an even stronger argument

against such a ban would be the difficulty of enforcing it. Many of the most risky sports, like

base jumping or big wave surfing, are practised far away from the reach of any authorities.

I cannot imagine the police being called to stop people from parachuting off a mountain

face or surfing on an isolated beach.


In conclusion, I would argue that people should be free to enjoy extreme sports as long as

they understand the risks and take the appropriate precautions.
