I agree with you. One time at a rodeo a bull was trying to jump from the arena into the stands. The first row next to the railing was filled with a bunch of little kids, 6 to 10 years. The bull had his head and front legs over the rail and the kids were just sitting there like they were watching a movie. Finally an adult came over and made them move.
Yes, common sense and precaution seem to be a rare commodity these days.
