If jumping were banned, do you think the large number of party goers at Chimney Rock would find another place to party? It would seem that the large number of boats is the encouragement that many of the jumpers seek. Do people go there waiting for an accident similar to many attending NASCAR waiting for the big wreck?

I feel strongly that we all take risks in our daily life but any parent who is aware their kids are jumping from the big rock and do not stop it are irresponsible. I wonder the guilt they do through when they have to change their kids diapers for the rest of their life. Imagine living with the thought if I had just said no.

We recently had an accident where two trucks hit head-on. The driver, a teenager of one truck, was killed. Two girls in the other truck suffered serious injuries. The difference? The young man was not wearing a seatbelt while the two girls were. As a parent would you take the keys if your teenage drove without seat belts? Or, should they learn the hard way as part of growing up?

My prayers go out to the teenager who was injured.

Michelle, if you don't want opinions then don't post!!!!!!!!!
