It's possible to that allow serious exploration without exposing children to toxic chemicals. I think you can let children walk by themselves and play by themselves without discarding any worry about child safety. Etc.
The OP is what my younger friends would call a "boomer rant". And despite being a "boomer" myself I no sympathy for a "the problem today is people are too worried about safety" viewpoint. Today's world is complex combination of good trends and bad trends, not merely a matter of "now lawyers run everything".
