Firstly
, these sports are practised in remote secluded areas away from where the authorities have immediate access. These areas have been chosen as they have ample space and do not pose a threat to the general public as they are far away from dwellings.
Secondly
, people should be autonomous and be able to choose a sport they like. I believe that prohibiting people would be infringing on

regulations are being constantly reviewed and people have every right to choose any recreational activity they prefer.
