Recently, some people suggest that government should not allow dangerous sports to be done. Is this suggestion good for other people's safety? Other people said the opposite that everyone allows doing any kind of sport freely. In my opinion, I do not agree that dangerous sports must be banned.

First of all, each individual has the same right to do any activity freely, even though it has a higher risk than other activities or sports. Some sports such as skydiving or mountain bike racing probably are more dangerous than just jogging or playing badminton. But, it does not mean that there are no positive sides to these activities. For example, you can find a better and more beautiful view of the whole city during skydiving, and fresh, breezy air while enjoying birds singing while riding a bike on a mountain.

Secondly, dangerous sports can pump up our adrenaline which for some people, also releases serotonin, a hormone that controls happiness, which is good for their psychological health. Some people maybe choose to challenge their own adrenaline as a solution to release their stress and personal pressure through doing extreme and dangerous sports. They can get both good physical and mental health from one activity.

In summary, I do not agree with people suggesting the government ban dangerous sports. Even though these extreme sports have higher risks, it is worth doing. Dangerous sports make people see the world from other unique perspectives and also help boost their adrenaline which can help people reduce their stress, and it is each person's decision to do it freely.
