Dangerous Sports

Why do you think that people enjoy dangerous sports?
This is a question that I make me during my life. As I haven’t proved anyone of these sports I don’t know the reason by my experience. However I have a theory:

Nowadays life in developed countries is completely regulated. The governments want to protect their citizens from all kind of dangers. We are not allowed to drive too fast or to do anything which is dangerous.

For this reason is very difficult to find adventure, and a lot of people get bored. So it’s surprising that dangerous are getting more and more popular. A lot of people like car racing because it gives them the opportunity to drive as fast as they can. Other climb mountains in remote countries because is a challenge that they can’t have in their own countries.
Bungee jumping is an activity that is relatively safe because produce few victims. The attractive of this sport is that creates the illusion of danger. Perhaps it would be safer to jump from a bridge than cross a road,

Life, even in developed countries is dangerous enough without having to run an unnecessary risk; but for a lot of people this is a form to escape of their life routine, and spend a good time.
One day I’ll prove any dangerous sport, like bungee jumping, and I will able to express the sensation by my own experience.
