> How many kids swam unsupervised, jumped off rocks and rode down steep hills and didn't return home? Very few. Those who have a tendency to do things that get them killed ... get killed and eliminated from the gene pool. Everybody who is around now mostly knows how to judge risk. Yeah, we'll have some cuts, bruises, broken bones, etc. but it's very rare that someone does something so profoundly stupid that they get themselves killed. Just because you heard about it on the news doesn't mean it's common. If one kid out of 10,000 gets himself killed this way, you'd get a dozen kids nationally offing themselves daily, but in reality that's a very small number and in truth, the real number is probably much less.
