If they want to go there, they could focus on skiing.
How many have died skiing?
I can think of three prominent people offhand : Sonny Bono, one of the various Kennedy cousins, and actress Natasha Richardson. All died in skiing accidents.
People die every year at the Grand Canyon.
How do we mitigate every risk in life? What risks are acceptable? That to me is the heart of this sort of discussion.
Agree. I have come to the conclusion that ‘acceptable risk’ is personal. Whatever one person decides is allowable risk, is ok for them. And I try to not judge them by my own ‘accceptable risk’ assessment. My son wanted to play football, so he did. He also DID have friends whose parents wouldn’t let them play.
