Some people believe that governments should ban dangerous sports. Others claim that they should have freedom to choose their favourite activities. Discuss both views and present your opinion.

It is believed that governments play a role in protecting

people

's lives by prohibiting extreme

sports

, while others think that it should be one's choice whether to take part in them or not. I agree with the latter view;

this

essay will discuss both points of view and

then

provide a conclusion. On the one hand, a lot of

people

opine that governments should ban these dangerous

sports

even if a lot of individuals seem to enjoy them.

This

is because these activities can impose grave health risks to participants' lives; they can suffer from debilitating injuries,

moreover

, it can cause death.

For instance

, a recent study has shown that skiing caused many spine injuries that lead to paralysis.

As a result

, many

people

have called for outlawing these

sports

because of the hazards and the consequences associated with them. 

On the other hand

, it is argued that

people

should be free to choose whatever activity they want to do without any interference from authorities. The main reason is that each individual should be responsible and held accountable for his or her actions. As well as

this

, it is not accepted that governments interfere in

people

's choices, as

this

constitutes a major breach of privacy.

For example

, recently, a survey has shown that over 50% of

people

do not like being restricted and limited in their options. As a consequence, passing laws to prohibit extreme

sports

may not be satisfactory for some individuals. In conclusion,

although

dangerous games can cause serious physical damages to those who participate in them, they should not be banned because

people

should choose and decide based on their inclinations.
