Today a lot of people are keen on diving, mountaineering, bungee jumping. However, the others are not fond of extreme sports.
In my opinion extreme sports are too hazardous, because nobody knows what can happen. Every second is a risk. It is not a secret that such kinds of sport are very dangerous because a healthy person in a moment can turn into an invalid. Also, people who have experienced extreme sports may be depressed all the rest of their life. It is a well-known fact that extreme sports may lead to the breakdown of the human nervous system.
However, some people claim that extreme sports are more useful than risky. Firstly, they say that extreme sports help to build character and form a strong personality. Secondly, such kinds sports teach people how to overcome difficult situations and how to survive in a case of emergency. It also develops patience and self-control. Thirdly, extreme activities help to realize the fragility of life and its value.
These arguments for extreme sports are quite strong but I am convinced that there are safer ways to mound a personality and learn to control yourself.
In conclusion, I would like to say that a person should think carefully before doing extreme sports as we have only one life which is too precious to be set on a chance.
