“I’m encouraged that there are some kids who want to achieve great things. Consider this type of spirit vs. the video game playing, MTV watching, prescription drug abusing teens that are all too common today.”

AMEN!

I don’t see any difference in kind between this and letting kids play high school football. We know that every year a few kids will die, and many will be significantly injured playing football, yet we don’t ban the game. Instead, we do what we can through training and equipment to minimize the risk. Same thing here. Obviously, the boat builder did a great job minimizing those risks.

From a societal level, we would be better off with more Sunderland parents, and less like those whose 26 year old babies cheer because they can remain on their parents medical insurance.
