The rule is no deeper than the knees of the smallest person who may be involved.
I'm not saying the police should be called for every hole. Just that it is a real risk. And generally I'd agree that people overreacting (sometimes myself included) is a tale as old as time.

- Ntrails 3y ago> The rule is no deeper than the knees of the smallest person who may be involved. Absolutely not. You are welcome to apply it to your family but don't come applying it anywhere near mine. I am so utterly bored of absolute risk aversion being preached on every street corner. I'll take some risk and the constituent rewards for me an mine, thanks.
