That being said, why just pick on auto accidents? Why not pick on 1 through 4; or 6 through 10? Do you let your kids eat fast or fried food? If so, you should stop because heart disease is the #1 killer in the US.
For kids #6 is homicide so do you move out of the city and have them just go to a private school or maybe even get them a body guard?
For kids, #9 is drowning, so do you keep your kids away from water just to keep them safe?
Just how far do you take it? Should you have your kids wear helmets and a fire suit while strapped into their motorhome cage you made for them?
I am criticized all the time for racing cars because it's "dangerous". The irony of that is I'm probably 100x's more safe driving 140mph on a race track with an ambulance 30 seconds away than towing my car to the track at 55mph!! :E
The good news is there are things more dangerous than RVing with your kids, and I bet most don't even consider not doing those things because of the danger.
