 do not get injured, whereas statistics say that the majority of accidents occur within the domestic wall, particularly the kitchen.

Benign
 sports like skydiving and skiing would be an unacceptable violation of their personal freedom. As I said, I only partially disagree because it is inevitable that what we decide to do affect other people.

Moreover
 rescues are often expensive and an imprudent practice of extreme sports may cause more social costs. To conclude, extreme sports should not be banned, as

 would be an infringement of personal freedom and an overreaction to the small number of people injured in
