What is an Extreme Sport?

Extreme sports is a broad term to describe any action or adventure sports that includes a high dosage of risk, height, speed, natural challenges, and physical struggle. Most extreme sports are considered as an alternative to mainstream sports with their adrenaline-rushing thrills. Extreme sports are popularized in the 1990s with lots of TV coverage and they keep on increasing their popularity every year.

Bungee Jumping is a simple yet thrilling recreational activity that involves head-first jumping from a tall structure with an elastic cord. Bungee jump as we know it was first practiced in 1979 but its different forms used to be a tribal coming-of-age ritual in many cultures. Now, bungee jumping is one of the most popular and available extreme sports in the world.
