Extreme sports or adventure sports are dangerous activities that not everyone can do. Usually, men (and a few women) between the ages of 20 to 45 are attracted to extreme sports. These are people who live for the moment and crave the adrenaline rush. The failure may result in injuries range from ordinary gashes and wounds to broken bones, frostbite, concussions, and brain damage. Therefore these are dangerous; let’s delve deeper to find out more.
Also called free sport, action sport, an adventure sport can involve high speeds, unbelievable heights, extreme physical extortion and death defying stunts. It is hard to define which extreme sports are the most dangerous. Some sports have more deaths compared to the so-called adventures sports. For instance, many have died from drowning in the United Kingdom due to angling, and angling is not considered an extreme sport. Some of the extreme sports are base jumping, heli-skiing, bull riding, bungee jumping, ski jumping, cliff diving, mountain biking, ice climbing, big-wave surfing and so on.
The final answer to the question is yes; these sports are highly dangerous. A single mistake from the participant, a simple failure in the equipment, or an unexpected environmental factor that causes things to go horribly wrong can result in physical injuries for the participant or even his untimely demise. The daring participants say extreme sports are all about thrill, and when things go wrong, they pay a heavy price.
To cut a long story short, no matter how much excitement, thrill or personal glory these extreme sports offer, it cannot outweigh the life threatening risks involved in these sports.
