People doing dangerous sports activities should be responsible for their own life and rescue workers should not risk their lives to save people doing sports. Do you agree or disagree?

Some part of people prefers risky sports to get some adrenaline or as they used to say “to feel the life”. Since 90th such kind of sports (especially snowboarding, mountain skiing, climbing) have faced a renaissance. Some of them became a part of Olympic games. This is the key argument to highlight the level of popularity of these activities in the world. However dangerous sports are strongly linked with serious injuries and deaths. The most of these sports are individual ones. Single player, risky activities, usually “in the middle of nowhere” - is the worst possible mix of factors for any rescue officer. From the general humanity perspective – the “adrenaliner” must get all possible support from the rescue team or even from the local society in any part of the world, regardless weather, and environmental circumstances. Nevertheless, we have to take into consideration the value of such kind of support. Due to the fact that usual areas for risky sports are mountains and oceans, the cost of each sportsmen`s mistake is the sufficient risk for the whole rescue team. The team must action immediately to increase chances to save a life. Despite of the daytime, weather conditions and general environment. On top of it rescue equipment is extremely expensive and usually it is the governmental costs (the tax collected from the local community). People`s life is priceless, and sportsmen must take into consideration the fact that their mistakes may harm other people. May the rescue team ignore extremals? Definitely, no. Will these sportsmen stop? No, as well. But sportsmen must proactively decrease the risk level and potential resources necessary for their support. Potential actions can be considered around several areas: must-have licenses to enter particular area or to do sports in these areas, obligatory safe equipment, alert/GPS electronic devices, reasonable priced extended insurance program.
