Please say I’m not seeing all this hand-wringing about safety on FR!
These are simple, almost no-cost things that can save a kid’s life. I don’t see anything wrong with them.
My Dad had a couple of good buddies lose sons due to stupid accidents. In one the kid was digging a deep hole for fun (who hasn’t done that?) and the sides collapsed, smothering him.
In the other, a teenager went out in a blizzard to walk to a girlfriend’s house nearby. He got snagged on a barbed wire fence and froze to death.
You can’t regulate either of those things out of existence, but more safety training and awareness could have saved them.
Do you want to give up seat/shoulder belts, collapsible steering columns, side-impact beams in car doors and disc brakes?
No man, hide and seek is not cool. Too many stories of kids getting themselves jammed up.
