because 
everyone should have the right to do whatever they want with their lives 
and bodies.
To begin with, it is generally agreed that it ought to be up to 
each
individual what 
they wish to spend their time on. People themselves should be able to decide for 
themselves what risk they think is worth taking. It is after all their own bodies. 
Extreme sports can
,
for some
,
be a way of coping with things and to let go and feel 
free. For instance, people who 
skydive
express the joy 
doing so 
and the feeling of 
flying makes them happy. Therefore, they might 
develop
a need to do it over and over 
again.
Furthermore, it is known that when you gain skills and become good in a certain 
sport, it results in a feeling of confidence and having accomplished something big in 
their lives. For many the sport becomes an important part 
of their self 
and they would 
not want to be without it. For instance, there are a great number of mountain bikers 
who participate in a 
huge 
contest 
on 
challenging and potentially life-threatening 
biking terrains in America. However, they still want to compete because the
y
love 
what they are doing and are passionate about this kind of sport. Their passion for 
biking outweighs the risks of getting badly injured.
To conclude, despite the risks and dangers of extreme sports, I strongly think that it is 
not up to the government to decide 
whether
or not to prohibit this kind of activity. 
The decision should lie in the hands of each individual.
