Answer 1

. Importance and risks of doing adventure sports

Man by nature is an adventure seeking being; God put this spark and spirit of adventure in man to conquer challenges in life. Antoine de Saint-Exupery has beautifully said, ‘It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.’ Importance of risk and adventure in man’s life is humongous. They instill in him self-belief, high self-esteem, and confidence. In the modern times a man without attraction for risk and adventure cannot survive. Invention, innovation, the joy of finding and doing something new lie beyond risk and adventure. More and more people want to share the swashbuckling thrill of adventures.

Adventure instinct is innate in man. The mischievous child, the risk-taking youth, the instinct to go beyond, all reflect it. No wonder man has inclination towards adventure sport! The adventure sports though appearing to be risky are full of thrill and excitement that have many benefits. As they are becoming more and more available, more and more people are experiencing the swashbuckling side of adventure sports. The contemporary generation of the youngsters, especially, the teenagers appear to be crazy about adventure sports. The adrenaline packed maneuvers provide such an extreme thrill that those who taste it once become addicted to it.

Man undertakes adventure to quench his inborn thirst for thrill. In the modern times more and more people are doing adventures. More and more people are climbing Mt. Everest; more and more people want to go into space; the demand for adventure sports is rising. A wide range of adventure sports is available now: bungee jumping, mountain climbing, sky-diving, para-gliding, sky-surfing' extreme-skiing, mountain-biking, kayaking, etc. The thrill one gets after climbing a steep mountain, or diving fast from a plane, the opening of parachute just a few hundred feet from earth's surface, can never be felt in any other activity. Adventure sports are becoming increasingly popular among the daredevil teenagers for the sheer excitement and thrill involved in them.

   Risks are just too many. Injury to death are common.
