Yeah, apparently nothing is safe anymore, including a kid walking to and from a playground. We have to have a special term for that, called "free-range parenting"
Somehow, you could go into a store in the 60's and 70's as a 14 year old kid, and pay and walk out with a rifle. Now you buy a rifle at Walmart, and they have to put it in a box and take it to your car for you, because it's "too dangerous."....
You could ride in the back of a pickup or a TC without a seat belt, but apparently, that is too dangerous now.
Somehow or another, despite all these dangerous things people used to do, the world population still increased from 4 billion to 7 billion.
But now we can't do those things anymore, because they are "too dangerous".
