I remember the things I've done as a kid, many of them very unsafe. Running on my house's roof(one side of the house was flush with the cliff it was sitting on, meaning a 150ft drop), playing with knives, fire, etc whenever my parents weren't looking.
I can't even imagine what this guy must be going through. You can be a good parent and verify every danger to your child and try to eliminate it, but there's always a million risks that you just can't anticipate. I know he must be wondering if he could have done anything to prevent it, and is probably still blaming himself, or even worse, someone else he loves.
