Translation
Translate into Arabic:
Extreme sports are not about risking your life. It is about knowing the risks involved and following the safety guidelines to stay safe while overcoming the challenges you will face with courage, determination, and persistence. Those that enjoy extreme sports take their safety and the safety of those with them seriously. Although there is an adrenaline rush and excitement experienced during these sports, it is even more enjoyable when following specific guidelines to enjoy the sport without taking unnecessary life risks.

Translate into Arabic:

Before venturing out to experience the rush and excitement of an extreme sport it is important to be physically fit and healthy. All extreme sports require a lot of discipline both physically and mentally. Attempting an extreme sport before you are physically or emotionally ready will put you and your partners at even greater risk.
