Ever wanted to do something extreme? For example, jumping out of a plane or white water rafting down an angry river?
Extreme sports are not something you put your life or death on the line. Extreme sports are about not only challenging one’s limits, overcoming things that put you to the edge or create fear and experiencing something else.
In this article we are going to dig deeper into some of the most adrenaline filled moments, the reality of them, the preparation steps and the equipment needed to be safe. Are you ready to check your limits?Let’s get started.
Most Exciting Types of Risky Sports Activity
There are many sports or activities that are extremely dangerous, meaning they can cause death if there are any mistakes. Have you ever tried any dangerous sports. To join in those sports without making any mistakes, you have to be trained and gain those skills for extreme sports. There are so many Sports that are dengerous, but let’s talk about some of those:
Parachuting or Sky Diving: Exiting a Plane
Parachuting or skydiving means that we jump from a plane that is too much, and then we slowly use a parachute to land.
First of all, we have to wear a special dress to skirt, get a backpack that has a parachute and go into a plane. The plane climbs 10,000 feet or more than the ground.
When the plane reaches a certain height, Skydivar (who jumps) goes near the door and jumps bravely from the plane.
Now just feel the air, and we will come down faster; it’s called Free Fall. At that time, the airflow around us will be very strong.
Then finally, just open the parachute and by balancing you parachute you will slowly come down.
But the risk is that our senses can fade because of fear, and we can’t open the parachute. If the parachute doesn’t open properly or gets stuck, we will fall down, so you can imagine what happens.
Bungee Jumping: The Initial Drop
It is not so risky, but it can also cause immediate death; However, it’s fun.
In bungee jumping we jump from tall places such as bridge, buildings or even mountains, and this is an adventure game.
There’s a bigger and higher bridge where a person tied a strong rubber rope, and we are getting prepared to be pushed.
We got closer to the corner of the bridge, and suddenly a person pushed us from behind, causing us to fall off the bridge.
The initial drop means the first push or moment of starting to fall down. We just fall down from the highest point; it’s not so dangerous, but if something goes wrong, the tied rope can split from the leg or the rope can snap, which can be very dangerous. However, generally this doesn’t happen; there is only less than a 0.0002% chance of it snapping.
Rock Climbing: Locating Every Crack and Juggling
I think that with the name ‘Rock Climbing‘, we all get a clue that it involves climbing something higher, which means mountain climbing.
We first locate every crake (crake means a small groove in the rock or a place where you can hold on) to get up, then we start getting up by holding the crake.
And the juggling usually means handling or balancing many things at once.
Here, “juggling” refers to: 👉 Thinking about and handling many things at once — such as:
Where should I put my hands?
Where should I put my feet?
Is the balance okay?
Which one is the safest way? Etc.
Then we just climb the mountain to the top. It does not get us very injured because they use ropes for safety. But only the experts climb the mountain without any ropes, so it is also an extremely dangerous sport.
Preparing Yourself for Your First Attempt
If you’re trying this for your first attempt in life, then be prepared mentally and physically.
For your mental preparation, say to yourself, “I can do this. I feel fear, but I have to try.” This will give you a little motivation for those extremely dangerous sports.
And for physically, first do some exercises like light running, jumping, push-ups, etc., to make your muscles active.
Finally, prepare everything such as shoes, ropes, helmets, etc. for different sports.
Stay Calm and Relax
Stay calm every time; this will help you make good decisions without causing any problems. However, sometimes relaxation can make you weak, so be strong and brave. First, understand what is needed for those sports.
