No doubt, everything in life has two sides, the good and bad. Sports are just another example, in some cases, it can be life-threatening, but still, a lot of people find it very enjoyable. I guess , especially if it is assessed and controlled. Dangerous games are sometimes very alluring and have a large amount of prize. People like to watch thrilling sports and are often taken as challenges. Those are the main reasons people participate in dangerous games even after knowing the consequences. To control such threats, standardisation must take place to put some guiding rules to decide whether a person is fit or not to practice a sport , also to highlight environmental conditions needed to practice it , a good example would be . Cars have to be inspected very carefully for mechanical failures by a highly qualified team , very close monitoring for the road to avoid any obstacles that may cause harm or damage, also the car itself from the design point of view has to be against potential accidents that may contain front or side hits and in most cases extreme flips or fire. Another clear example would be diving, a very enjoyable experience but dangerous and needs good preparation. Extensive training should take place in a simulated environment like a swimming pool before actual diving into deep water, the equipment has to be tested, a dive location readiness to be briefed prior to the dive and a common language to use underwater to communicate different basic sentences. In conclusion, it is safe to practice any sport you like with enough planning and adequate training, no matter how dangerous it is, you just have to measure the risks and get over it with gradual skill improvements.

Overall assessment
Why this response received Band 6.5
The response addresses both parts of the task with relevant ideas and concrete examples such as rally racing and diving, and it maintains a clear position that risks can be managed through preparation.
