Some people think that governments should ban dangerous sports, while others think people should have the freedom to do any sports or activity.

Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Adventurous sports, nowadays, have become a great source of entertainment for many people. Some people think that authorities should not allow such sports in the country due to dangers associated with them whilst others say that the government should not prohibit these activities. In my opinion, the government should ban only a few sports which are extremely dangerous but not all.

The viewpoint of banning harmful sports has compelling reasons linked to it. Firstly, the value of human life is much more important than the mere few minutes of thrill when one is involved in adventurous activities. Since these sports can be fatal sometimes due to equipment failure or inefficiency. Other injuries like bone fracture can make a person handicapped for a lifetime which further not only makes one unable to participate again but also affects one’s normal day-to-day undertakings. Moreover, sports such as skydiving, water rafting, helicopter skiing require extraordinary equipment and highly-skilled professionals to train the participants which is ultimately a liability on the national budget.  

On the other front, opponents think that it should be the individual’s choice which sport he intends to play, and if the government put restrictions on these sports it may spread resentment and prejudice in the society. Moreover, everyone is born with different capabilities and interests therefore they may have enough potential to learn the techniques easily and perform effectively in adventurous sports. Most importantly, dangerous sports enhance the determination in players to face the challenges in life.

To core out, I believe that the government should ban only those sports where more death cases are reported so far, otherwise proper guidelines for safety concerns should be acknowledged with the players before performing such activities.
