Extreme sports like skydiving and skiing have become popular these days. Some people believe that such kinds of sports should be prohibited because of their risk. Although I agree that these sports are dangerous, I totally disagree that they should be banned.
There exist a few reasons why can I disagree with that idea. Above all, extreme sports are not that dangerous as many people suggest. Any sport has some risks, and to minimize them people train every day and check their health. For example, a non-professional skydiver would not be allowed to do sport without preparations and a tutor. Furthermore, modern costumes and equipment for these sports have become more reliable. Specifically, materials have improved and now better protect athletes from possible injuries and traumas.
Another reason why extreme sports should not be banned is that each person must make their own choice. Each person takes responsibility for themselves if they choose to do these types of sports. No one has rights to force anyone to do or not to do something because the consequences could be critical. For instance, if the government prohibit skiing, many people will lose their jobs in this sphere.
To sum up, I completely disagree with the statement that extreme sports need to be banned. Although these sports are dangerous, they have many benefits and to avoid risks people preparing themselves, government should respect people’s choice.
