Why do you think some people are attracted to dangerous sports or other dangerous
activities? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Talking about dangerous sports or other dangerous activities certainly make us afraid
of the dangers or the consequences if not an expert for doing this. Example from dangerous
sports or other dangerous activities such as bungee jumping, extreme skiing, crossing a cliff
uses only a rope without safety, gliding, mountain biking, etc. Maybe, according to some
people this is not a natural activity to do. However, it is different from the opinion of people
who like dangerous sports or other dangerous activities. They have many reasons why they
do this. The first reason is because it is their hobbies. Next, the second reason is related to
physical. Last reason, it is related to their mental health. And it will be explained in the next
paragraph.

First reason is because it is their passion. Passion? A word that must be familiar to
people. Passion are things or activities that are liked by us and carried out regularly /
routinely. The things that are liked can involve interests, activities or other people. Through
passion, it will certainly create a relaxed atmosphere, where everyday people always struggle
with the struggle for life and daily routine activities. In addition, as a venue for socialization,
because by having a hobby, chances are you will be able to gather with people who have the
same hobbies and even exchange ideas and experiences. This happens to people who like
dangerous sports. For instance, one of the dangerous sports in my opinion is climbing
mountains alone. In this case, during climbing the mountain surely meet with many people
who are either heading up or heading down. Especially, at night. There will be interaction
between fellow climbers who set up tents. So, will add friendship relations. And, maybe it
can increase income. Because, there has been many in this day and age that turn hobbies into
a profession that can increase income. For example, when people who like dangerous sports
do that and make videos and post on their YouTube channel. They can get ad sense from
YouTube through advertisements.

Next reason is related to the health of the body. In this case, it cannot feel the tension
and fatigue that usually occurs when doing regular forms of exercise, can make muscles
relax, make stamina and strength of the body better, train leg muscles, burn body fat, train the
strength of the hand muscles. For example, Rock climbing. Rock climbing makes all your
body muscles work, even the muscles of your fingers. You will make your hands stronger to
pull your body to a higher place, as well as the legs that help push it. Furthermore, dangerous
sports that take place in water are also quite a variety of types, such as jet-skiing, scuba
diving, snorkeling, surfing, Kayaking, windsurfing, and water-skiing. In this case, using your
upper body muscles when pedaling a surfboard with your hand, and exercising leg muscles
when controlling a surfboard.

And, last reason is related to their mental health. Sometimes, the

dense routine activities can make the body tired, and the mind becomes easily
tired. Therefore, having a hobby can be very helpful. Let your mind refocus on something
that will make you happy is good stress reliever, and you have to spend time on it. The mind
becomes fresher and clearer, because what we do does not burden ourselves, but even
ourselves enjoy the activity, so that our minds are free from the burdens of existing problems.
In addition, it can maintain emotional stability, alertness and energy. For instance, Bungee
Jumping (jumping from a height). Jumping from a height of tens of meters will certainly give
an extraordinary adrenaline race. Well, in this case it can be a therapy to overcome phobia at
height and relieve stress by shouting when doing it.

Returning to the question posed at the beginning of this case, it is now possible to
state that people who like dangerous sports or other dangerous activities not just to seek
attention, but they have reasons to do it. They can do that because it is their interest. Besides
that, to make the body health. And also, except a healthy body, a good soul is also needed.
Because, everything in doing something must have reason behind it.
