It is often argued that extreme sports such as skydiving and rock climbing should be banned as these pose danger to the participants. This essay, however, takes a contrary stance and disagrees with this perspective because banning these sports will elevate the suicide rate in the country and it will demotivate people who really like these sports.
To commence with, extreme sports pose no hazard to the participants provided that they are accompanied by a trained professional. The presence of an expert while skydiving and the supervision of a trained person while mountain climbing alleviates any risk or danger posed by such sports. For instance, in Switzerland, trained professionals are obliged to accompany the skydivers and mountain climbers, thus preventing any kind of mishap while playing such sports.
Extreme sports make people strong, which helps them overcome any difficulties they experience. Participation in such sports sets an example for the participants that they can overcome any difficulties in their life in a similar manner as they have crossed the hurdles in such games. These sports provide enormous benefits to youngsters who are often surrounded by suicidal thoughts when they face a minor challenge in their lives by making them strong. Consequently, the suicide rate of the country drops, fostering the country’s happiness and prosperity. For example, in Tibet where playing such extreme games is a tradition, the suicide rate in the country went up by 10% when the authorities banned these games for a year. Ultimately, the authorities have to lift this ban.
In conclusion, extreme games pose no dangers to the participants when supervised or accompanied by a trained professional. These games make the participants mentally strong and help them overcome any potential difficulties they experience in their life and therefore should not be banned.
