Accidents has put the boot into the elf'n'safety nazis.
After all, preventing accidents provides the moral justification
for these self-righteous lunatics interfering in our lives and
banning pretty much every activity known to man.

studs and swimming with snorkels has been outlawed in the name
of keeping our kids safe.

which would keep children wrapped in cotton wool," said Mr
Mullarkey.
"Our argument is that a skinned knee or twisted ankle in
a challenging and exciting play environment is not just acceptable,
it is a positive necessity."

and exciting play environments".
