According to a survey conducted in December 2022 on extreme sports and activities in the United States, 22 of respondents believed that these activities should be regulated, while 51 believed that they should not be regulated at all. These findings suggest that there is a significant divide in public opinion on the issue of regulating extreme sports and activities. Those who believe in regulation may argue that there are clear risks associated with these activities, and that without proper oversight, participants could be needlessly put in danger. They may also argue that government regulations could help to standardize safety procedures and ensure that all participants have access to proper training and equipment.
