Just so people can see this isnt just an American thing.
I am reminded of the episode of Penn & Teller: Bullshit! about violent video games, when they talk about all of the injuries and deaths that have been caused as a result of football.
Are they going to restrict football? Of course not. People need to shut up and let kids have fun.

Man, I remember when my toys could kill me and the day was wasted without skinned knees and at least one new bruise. What the hell happened?
How come they try so hard to get kids to play outside when they limit their options as they do it? These games are no more dangerous then kids going outside in the first place. Hell football causes brain damage over a period of time but you don't see many people complaining about kids playing it. Also how the fuck is freeze tag not safe? It's the same god damn thing as regular tag and the only dangerous thing is kids freezing in uncomfortable positions but a smart kid would readjust himself so he wouldn't hurt himself. Injuries do happen but they're usually some one skinning their knee. The only kid who had an exception of that was me as I broke my teeth a couple of months ago playing dodge ball but that's just what happened.
Seriously? I remember in Year 7 in Primary school that a mate of mine got hit in the face by a basketball kicked by a soccer player that was pumped with as much air as possible. Smacked him straight in the face, blood nose that got blood all over his clothes and face and he got knocked out. Rushed him to the front office getting ready to call the hospital, woke up about 5 minutes later and went back to go play some as if nothing happened.
Also the game was Kick Golden Child for those of you wondering.

dodgeball, kickball, wiffle ball, no problem.
red rover though, particularly when kids start reaching the 3rd and 4th grade, not good. if a little kid trys to plow through a couple of kids who are much bigger the kid will be clotheslined. while hilarious, it is extremely painful and potentially damaging.

"[Geiser] also wonders about labor regulations that prevent some teens from running dishwashers or lawn mowers, part of the routine in some sleep-away camps.
Gieser fears the spontaneity and self-reliance that comes with wilderness adventures like canoe trips could someday be watered down by regulations."
I'm all for safety but not if it neuters the experience. Sometimes the danger is the whole point.
I think those, as stated, have more to do with child labor laws. So it has nothing to do with safety. It also only says "some", which probably means it applies only to those who can't legally work in NY. The minimum age of labor in NY is 14. So I guess he means "thirteen year olds" by "some teens".spectrenihlus said:
Like you put it sir (in your poll) For reals? I mean WHAT THE FUCK? I tell you what, kids these days are pussies, they get hurt and they whine to their parents... Ok, not a big deal, we had kids like that when I was a kid. And then the parent sues the school. Yeah. Thats really fucked up. I personally hate people like that.\
Its because of these people we don't have as much fun these days (even as an "adult"). DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL.
