DISCUSSION 6.2 The Ethics of Risk Taking
Snowboarders catapult themselves in the air so high they can grab onto the tops of the highest
evergreens on remote mountains.
A young man hurls himself off a skyscraper dressed like a human flying squirrel in an airplane-
less skydive.
A team consisting of only one man and 16 dogs braves temperatures of -30 degrees over 1,000
miles from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska, in order to compete in the Iditarod.
What all of these extreme sports have in common, besides the threat of great danger, is a
fascination that draws avid participants, spectators, and sponsors. Watch videos of any of
these and other extreme sports, and besides exhilarated faces you may observe sponsor
names emblazoned on helmets and uniforms, and crowds of fans urging the athletes to go
higher, faster, farther, no matter the consequences.
Even with the evident danger, extreme sports are on the rise for a number of different
reasons, as you will read about in your Learning Materials. What is the appeal of these
extreme sports when the likelihood of injury or danger is great, and what are the ethical
issues related to them? This is the focus of your Discussion.
Instructions
Review the Learning Materials and other credible resources, such as online videos or
articles on extreme sporting events such as BASE jumping, mountaineering, high diving, or
big wave surfing. Consider the following:
• Why are extreme sports on the rise?
• Why are sponsors willing to pay money for the sponsorship despite the dangers?
• Who else might be affected when an individual participates in extreme
sports?
• What are the issues related to accountability for participation in such dangerous
sports?
Post a response to the following:
Explain the ethical issues related to extreme sports. What might be the incentives that
outweigh the risks? In your post, include documentation and support for the rationale and
concerns of participants and other stakeholders.
