I suppose I can see your point but there is a line between doing something exciting and doing something truly dangerous or stupid. No broken bones in the family yet although I am growing concerned for my mom who is 96 and has taken a few falls lately. I am convinced her guardian angel has swooped in and prevented an injury at the last moment.
I am sorry to hear about your Mom. I dealt with elderly parents and know how nerve racking it can be. All you can do is pray.
The line between exciting and truly dangerous or stupid is subjective. I think we all did all three as kids and had our parents known, they probably would have turned gray. We had a lot of freedom to do some really crazy stuff.
And it seems we are all still here. We all had some powerful guardian angels. And still do.
