Sounds like BigBlue has too much time on his hands. I agree with the basic fact that there are risks in everything in life, in every activity we partake in. As a kid, I found jumping into the lake as a thrill. I jumped off of high-dive boards higher than the lower side of chimney rock. I thank God my parents didn't threaten me for doing so. It just comes down to a judgement call on the part of the parents as to what is too dangerous and what is not. There are lots of adults that consider flying in an airplane as dangerous, I mean, hey, if the plane goes down, you're dead. That one decision to get on that plane ends your life. Should you stay at home and hide? Never see the world? Some choose that, I choose to enjoy life to the fullest and encourage my children to do the same, coaching them along the way as to what is too dangerous and how to assess the risks. And by the way, I didn't ask for your opinion anyway!
