“Is sport more dangerous than ever?”
Fatal accidents during sporting activities have occurred frequently in recent months. So the question was come up.
Rugby union is one sport whose players are often injured. Risks for the players are caused by how the game is played.
There is a trend towards trying out new and more dangerous activities. Too protective society leads this trend.
And adding protective equipment may also increase danger because the equipment can be weapons.
In sports, there are always risks of accidents and unconscious heart condition.
On the other hand, sport is attractive because there is some danger involved. And Dr Loosemore says that removing the risk is dangerous in itself.
I agree with Dr Loosemore’s opinion. Any Sports have danger. We may want to play or encourage sports because of their some danger. So I also think sports without dangers are less attractive.
And it is difficult to stop the trend towards trying out more dangerous activities. I think it is their choice.
However, I don’t want to say that we should do nothing to prevent players from injuries during sporting activities.
I think major sports which have professional players or popular sports should not be too dangerous because major sports influence many people. So each association of sports should investigate causes of accidents during the games.
Then,rules which cause injuries should be revised if the revise of them do not make the sports less attractive.
I think it is good to revise dangerous rules without sports’ attractions.
