I agree with spmur. There are so many things to worry about that are actually real risks. The odds of death in a plane crash are miniscule. My parents were smart enough to spend their energy teaching us about things like seat belts, speeding, the danger of smoking, etc.
Do these parents wear knee pads and helmets everywhere they go just in case?
