B. If you’re thinking of becoming a cliff diver, listen carefully to what experienced cliff divers say. They call attention to the importance of being well-trained and in excellent physical shape.

Even then, you should take into consideration many other factors, like the weather, waves and ground both on the Cliffside and in the water.
C. Train surfing is a kind of activity when young people climb or “surf” on the outside of a moving train. As the train gets speed, the thrill-seekers climb to the roof and stand up as if they are on a surfboard. This type of activity is illegal
worldwide and results in the death or injury of many people every year. Although the practice is forbidden, it is still practiced, especially on those railroads where the trains are overcrowded.
D. You’ve heard of roller hockey and ice hockey but what about underwater hockey? This game has the same play and strategy as ice hockey.

It is played on the bottom of a 6—8 feet swimming pool by two teams of six.
