1. Extreme sports can be potentially lethal and provide a high risk of injury. For example, a fall while rock climbing can lead to broken bones or even death.
2. Rock climbing is popular in the mountainous regions of Russia, such as the Caucasus mountains. Surfing is also popular in the regions near seas and oceans. To my mind, skydiving and base jumping are not popular in Russia.
3. I would probably try jumping from a plane with a parachute. It is relatively safe as the instructor would always be strapped to me and will control our descent.
4. Extreme sports can give people new exciting experiences. Moreover, extreme sports let people unwind and combat their fears.
5. I am not interested in extreme sports. First of all, they are too dangerous and I don’t like risking my life. Secondly, they take too much physical preparation to participate in.
