Why are some people attracted to dangerous sports or other dangerous activities? -Toefl Essay
Thrill and PleasureThere is always a number of people who are attracted to dangerous sports or activities such as skydiving, rock climbing or car racing. In my opinion, the reason of dangerous sports are attractive is because when people feel thrill, that brings a sense of aliveness and pleasure. Sometimes thrilling activities helps to reduce mental stress.
I'll begin with the thrilling activities and pleasure. While people are playing sports, their heartbeat becomes faster and blood flow increases. Thrill also brings a faster heartbeat, just like sports. The physical stimulation(?) causes the brain to produce a chemical called adrenaline. Adrenaline is the main factor in making people to feel excitement and pleasure, and is the reason for the attractiveness or addictiveness of dangerous sports. My own experience is a good example of this. I have been going snowboarding since I was ten years old. In this time, snowboarding has been a most thrilling and exciting activity, since I sometimes lose control. That thrill makes me sweat and makes my heart beat faster, but at same time I feel some sort of pleasure.
Almost every person has that experience because it is the natural function of our body. That's why people are attracted to dangerous sports.
