Such a society must regulate access to areas of extreme danger (disused mines) to stop mentally unwell citizens from endangering themselves but more importantly endangering their fellow contract holders.
Growing up in the Kimberley it was all Bull Buggies, Broomstick choppers, Quarter Horses and dirt bikes, all intrinsically a wee bit risky - but good practice for "grown up" geophys surveying in custom STOL crop dusters.
