Typical conservative reaction: "Eye Dun Wan Any Protek'shuns, Cuz Eye Iz Invun'rub'les"
Over the top garbage in response to reasonable rules: Seat belt laws? Save lives even if you would prefer that lives were lost.
Helmet laws? Also save lives, even if you clearly want them to die or be permanently injured instead.
If we went by YOUR reaction? There would be no guard rails on stairs, either-- just let people slip and fall to their deaths-- why not? It's God's Will, right?
Do you know how many people slip and fall in wet showers... and die? But that's God's Will, right?

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
It seems the toddler was the daughter of a police officer.
The grandfather clearly didn't intend for this to happen but......
.. you're right, he was an idiot.

Forcing people into plastic bubble wraps isn't a cure-all.

What? Who's forcing anyone into plastic bubble-wraps? I don't see that anywhere, from any credible source.

Negligence does not require intent either.
I think you're imputing opinions I don't hold.
I guess you don't read the news, you're missing an incipient police state.
I see parents afraid of the world, and transmitting this fear to their children. I see authoritarian "protectors" all to willing to step in to monitor and control our lives.
Are we raising a generation children afraid to step outside unaccompanied; of fearful adults who crave constant surveillance and protection?

Can actual bubble-wrap be far behind?

Every single CLICK-BAIT title you posted? Does not mean what it thinks you mean.
And I am STILL waiting for forced bubble-wrap you alluded to.

Indeed-- when an automobile accident at any speed, resulted in death, maiming and other mayhem. If you were going 30 mph? And had kidlets in the back?
The odds were quite high, that said kids would simply die-- often by being ejected from the vehicle, going through glass that was instantly fatal.
If they were not ejected? They could expect to be tossed about in the unyielding compartment like so many eggs, with about the same survival rate.
And god help anyone in the front seat: the driver could be expected to be impaled on the immovable, solid steering column. The passenger isn't in any better shape-- if they manage to not take a fatal trip through the windshield? The solid steel dashboard would not be dented--much-- with an impact of the passenger's face.
yeah.... the "good" old days.

That stuff still happens today. Except the Nanny State is making cash off of it.

We are over regulated. Because of some stupid act by some idiot, we all must suffer by having more regulations imposed on us. It's all getting out of hand.
What particular regulations are you finding onerous?
A free, unregulated society is all well and good in sparsely populated regions of small, self-sufficient family or tribal groups, but in large, diverse, interdependent societies an unregulated, social and economic free-for-all is problematic and not conducive to prosperity and security.

"over regulated"? How so?
I see you style yourself as a Bible Believer.
Do you actually think that prohibitions from forcing religion in public schools, to be "over regulation"? That's Christian Privilege at work. Religious freedom means you can practice your religion on yourself-- but you may not force your religion onto anyone else.

Some people who think risk taking is fun also seem to think forcing others into risky situations is also fun. Ugh.
