Let's Take a Risk with Adventure Recreation!

Allen, Stewart; Meier, Joel F.

Parks and Recreation, v17 n2 p47-50 Feb 1982

Three main concepts relating to risk recreation are: (1) understanding how an individual evaluates a recreational activity; (2) understanding that the reasons individuals initially participate in risk recreation may be different from those which perpetuate participation; and (3) understanding that factors other than the individuals and the activities may affect risk recreation behavior.
