  1. I think that our life does not have to be boring and repetitive, and extreme sports and sports in general should be in our lives. I think that the sport is becoming more popular nowadays. Extreme sports bring variety into our lives. Extreme Sports strengthens us physically but we must not forget that without the preparation we can get injured. If we exercise we will be strong and healthy. Everything that does not kill us makes us stronger.

    1. So Ilya, you think that the girl from the video who has fallen into the river while going bungee jumping has become stronger? Or those who have become invalids because of some faulty equipment? Have they become stronger or weaker? What about you? Would you like to try bungee jumping?

  2. In my opinion, nowadays extreme sport it very popular also for people 18-25 years age, and I am FOR them because I think it better to have some interest also to do sport or extreme sport than to sit in the flat and drinking, smoking, using drugs. About this girt I want to say that it is accident and I think in the 21 century all make for extreme sports at its best. But I think it is not normal but this accident must be because it is the extreme sport and people wanted to have a risk to die, people do it because they want to have adrenaline. So, if all goes well it not be an extreme sport.
    So, each chooses his own path

    1. In a way, you are right that extreme sports wouldn't be extreme if there was no risk and it's the risk that attracts young people. But what about relatives: parents, children, wives and husbands? How do they feel?

      P.S. I like your photo :)

    I think that used to everything, like going on a fishing trip every weekend, as sending out to sea for half a year, ... and with extreme sports as well, this is a hobby for people and they like it.for some people better to sit in the net or watch TV or read the book, but for this people better to get the adrenaline and jumping from the bridge.

  4. To begin with I want to say that extreme sport is an excellent way to have some risk and adrenalin. So it is good for people who don’t afraid of risk and want to have unforgettable experience. Also it is a perfect way to test yourself, to see what you can do. And it’s just another way to have a lot of fun for some extraordinary people.
    But there are some arguments against extreme sport. The main is that you can get some serious injuries and wounds and get to hospital. After doing extreme sport you can become a person with physical disabilities, for example, you may break your back and you won’t be able to go. And the most terrible thing is that you can die and won’t see your family and friends again. So I think it’s better to find another way to have fun than doing extreme sport.
    I think extreme sport should not be banned because if people want some risk why can’t they have it? In my view people who do it know that it is dangerous for their lives but they don’t afraid of it and do this sport so it’s their wishes. In my opinion even if it be banned people will do it because they want it.

  6. I think that people are going to extreme sports because they want to experience new emotions, want to risk their lives. But when they go to take risk, they should be physically prepared. So do people have to go to classes, exercises and workouts to prepare a person to trial. Each risk - a competition with life. Everyone must understand that it's fun can lead to serious consequences. A person can get in minutes of adrenaline to pay with their lives or become disabled, so I think that extreme sports should not be banned, but people should be warned about the risks.
