Abstract

In our modern times in all walks of life the possibilities for expanding human activities is a widely discussed issue. It is especially valid in extreme sports where the line between the death and life is very thin. The price paid by such extreme performers poses a question about the ethical aspect of their spectacular performances and their motivation behind them. Thus the question about the responsibility for their own lives and particularly about the lives of the others is put forward.
