There is always that nagging issue of putting rescuers in harms way I do understand that but...

Man oh man everyone is so judgmental of others these days. Most of us grew up with no seat belts, helmets, or any other safety precautions in moving vehicles that we have today. I bet many of us have jumped off a bridge into the water too. oh the horror. I don't know why I'm bothering to reply here because it will be met with anger and I'll be flamed, but it just struck me and I had to reply.
Ya know I'm one whom gets a thrill watching the snowmobiles skim water. I know I know if they go in the rescuers have to go after them. Remember a few years back those kids that skimmed their sleds in the summer all the way down the bay? I though that was pretty awesome. I know I know someone could have gotten hurt etc.

Time to go wrap my kids in bubble wrap and put a helmet on them while they ride their plastic big wheels that are an inch off the ground. I'm sure someone has a link about a kid in Wyoming that is brain damaged from a big wheel accident so fear not my kids will be wearing their helmets. No bridge jumping for them. It'll probably be a felony by the time they are old enough to do it. I'll show them the pics of their daddy doing it.
