Yes I realize that. Do you realize that it's possible, even recommended, that we attempt to prevent children from more than one type of hazard?
"enjoy life without fear"
Do you have kids? What adults choose to do themselves, and what is reasonable to allow your children to do, are different things. Very different things.
I volunteer one evening a week at Mount Southington, a local ski mountain near my home. An 8 year-old kid died there last week, was skiing with his dad, went into the half pipe without his helmet, got inverted in the air and came down on his head. When I go the mountain, if I realize I've left my helmet at home, I will ski anyway. But if we get to the mountain and one of my kids doesn't have his helmet, we go home and get it.
