Adolescents are old enough to distinguish an activity that may cause them harm. I do not think society should be held responsible for people who decide to put their life in danger this way.
Would anyone think me correct if I ran out into traffic because there's a chance I might or might not come out unscathed. Would I be able to sue the drivers for allowing me to jump in front of them?
This issue points out that many people today just don't want to be bothered taking responsibility for themselves.
And rat, yes, I think parachuters & bungee jumpers, etc. are taking unneccesary risks. I don't want to chance living the rest of my life crippled so I could have a quick adreneline rush. And for driving being dangerous, well, yes it is. But it's a neccesary evil. One does not have to jump from rooftop to rooftop to get to work.
Just my 2 cents...
