Synopsis: Tony Hawk is a skateboarding legend. He is known for his fearless, record-breaking skating as well as his business success.
Excerpt:
Because skating is such a risky sport, the skate parks needed to have insurance. The parks had to pay money to insurance companies in case a skater was injured. If the number of skaters increased, then the insurance costs increased. High insurance costs forced many skate parks to close, so skaters did not have a place to enjoy their sport.
Question:
According to the selection, high insurance costs led to
- skate park closures.
- new rules about skateboard safety.
- some sponsors paying Tony Hawk more money.
- the creation of new skate parks.
