The first story was ‘bungee Jumping a Stunt Act - Not a Sport’  

It is written from the perspective of the chairperson of the extreme sport’s council Trevor Norris.   

Bungee Jumping a Stunt Act - Not a Sport’

Arguments that support this statement:

Arguments against the statement:

bungee jumping does not require skills or extensive training like most sports. Most sports involves an element of competition… bungee jumping is over so quickly, there is no time for team competition. Expert stunt actor Sam Nielson describes bungee jumping as a stunt act.

bungee jumping requires skills enable to be prepared for any errors that will happen during the jump. My perspective about bungee jumping is that it could be classified as a sport where competitors challenge each other by measuring the longest jump, however adding the disadvantage of equal weight. I think bungee jumping can be required for beginners to try out and be challenged to overcome their fear.

Fact of opinion:

Bungee jumping requires a great deal of courage ….strong courage to overcome fear.
