You have got to be kidding!!!! This whole country keeps trying to make things "safer", idiot proof and so on. This is getting way out of hand. Life is full of risk. I often ask people what would happen if you were hit by the beer truck to prove my point that random things way beyond your control can happen and will happen. The bottom line in my opinion is a faith issue. If you have no faith that God is watching over you and that things happen for reasons unknown to us at times then your knee jerk reaction is to make everything "safe". Everyone has to assume a certain amount of risk just to live another day and totally avoiding any risk and not teaching kids how to recognize risk and to have faith in a higher being is mainly why we have such irresponcible youth these days. They just arent"t aware of what is going on and how to pay attention to their surroundings. My kids will ride on machinery, they will learn to handle it at young age, they will learn to work around equipment and they will work with all sorts of tools, all under MY SUPERVISION AND INSTURCTION! I just do not think that magically at the age of 18 or whatever they aquire the knowledge to operate this stuff. I am not trying to tell you how to live but at least let me live and raise my kids my way.
