I think rock climbing is the best thing ever. In the long run, the experience of rock climbing will spiritually reinvigorate the public. I want more people to rock climb. It’s the knots that are the problem. They take so long to tie, and every gym you go to makes you take tests to make sure you know how to tie them and then vocally double check that they are secure. Studies show that if people didn’t have to spend time tying knots, they’d be more inclined to try rock climbing. At the same time, studies show that excessive safety standards only save a handful of rock climbers each year. It’s not worth it. We should remove any regulations around ropes and knots for rock climbing gyms so more people will rock climb.

- mattnewton 4y agoThank you, I’m glad I’m not the only one; this seems like insanity to compare forecasted potential birth numbers with actual child fatalities. Could car seat regulations be erring on the side of over-zealousness? Sure, but the way to show that is that the safety isn’t increased, not to say “think of the potentially born!”
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoI wonder if you could run this same analysis with condoms and argue that the increased STDs are worth the increased birth rate.
