Accidents & Danger
An element of danger is necessary to class a sport as "extreme".
Because of this skdiving, free-climbing and surfing are often called extreme - where bowling, tennis and synchronised swimming are not.
This section explores the risks, dangers and accidents of taking up an extreme sport, and how to avoid them.
