I'm here to watch all the comments about "child endangerment" which are coming straight from American helicopter parent culture.

I'm really shocked at how most parents want the safest environment possible for their child so they don't even get any challenge in their everyday life. I saw children with helmets walking in the street. I got snarky comments from people when I said I was hiking in the woods with my kids. ("This is irresponsible: what would happen if you got lost with your kids").

I want my kids to try things even if they might be dangerous from time to time. There is nothing great about living an ultra safe dull life.

At the time of replying (21 minutes after this post) there have been absolutely none of those on here. Literally zero. The one post asking if there's a minimum age doesn't even do that.

I don't think it is particularly constructive to assume people will post a certain way then brag that you "[came] here to watch [it]." Further it isn't constructive to preemptively stereotype anyone who would make such a post ("American helicopter parent").

I'd politely suggest you review the "In Comments" guidelines:

The first line applies here.

Sheltering your kids is one of the worst things you can do to them. I am the living embodiment of that lesson.

On a more philosophical level, Nietzsche made the argument that the inevitable background suffering of life did not justify a humdrum existence.
