Wont be long before every driver in the country has to do a risk assessment, before he or she ventures onto the road.
Why were kids playgrounds altered in such a way as to remove the risk of kids getting injured. My view on this is, if a kid takes a risk and injures him or herself then all well and good, because it will teach them to be more careful. When I say injured I mean a cut or bruise, kids should be toughened up not over protected.
Why? because there will be those kids that will take risks elsewhere such as playing on railway lines which could have serious consequences. Another case in point is the Graffiti artists, they get to some high places which are very risky, from a falling point of view. So all you have done by making a playground to safe, is move the problem elsewhere.
Kids are natural risk takers, let them take risks in a safe environment.
