Dear editor



Dear editor,
            I feel I must respond to your recent article on urban exploring which gave people different perspectives about this sport.    

Urban exploring is a very fast growing ‘sport’ as you mentioned in your article and I would agree that.  People are being informed more about it through the amazing and eye-catching moment captured by these people.  Further still, this ‘sport’ encourages team work; several people interested in this sport come together making it more enjoyable.  It is a leisure activity and can sometimes be regarded as a relaxation or a stress relief activity.  A good number of people go for their jobs during the day, get exhausted but they still got for urban exploring.  Why?  As time goes by, this activity is being regarded as a normal routine rather than just a hobby.       

On the contrary, I have a different view about this activity.  A real sport is one that involves both enjoyment and also the safety of the participants.  Climbing up on such tall buildings?  It is not as easy as it looks.  People forget to consider safety as their priority.  Innocent owners of such buildings are then answerable for the injuries of these urban explorers.  Advertisements and publicists draw in people of a very tender age into this activity.  Some do not even know the basics of a such a dangerous activity; What happens next? Accidents, injuries, false accusations to the building owners!  In addition, why wait for such things to happen and then take action.  We are the ones driving ourselves to such situations.  I agree that it is a breath-taking activity and moment but I would still not advise people to go for this activity.           

The chances of these activities increasing are very high but I would like to dispute this argument of allowing this sport to grow.  It is not really worth it when people risk their lives participating in such sports.  I really wish that a positive outcome is brought forward and I hope I expressed my views and opinions pretty well.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Yours Faithfully,
                                                                                                         Kruti Patel.
