Life has risks.

There were 390,000+ people killed on US roads in the last decade. There were 153 people killed on airplanes. If you question why a parent would take a kid on a plane, why in the heck would they ever drive anywhere, which has 250,000% more deaths with 6,000% more deaths per mile travelled?

Heck, there were 600 lightning deaths. Why would a parent ever take a child outside. Wait, 20,000 people were killed in home fires, why would you ever stay inside.....
