I hate the attitude that every time an accident of some sort happens, we immediately blame the establishment or whatever for not being "safe enough". People need to start learning how to take personal responsibility, and also understanding that sometimes accidents do happen. Immediately looking to put blame on someone every time something bad happens can be silly.
It was a four year old not a young jock showing off. We child proof our homes, so it is not unreasonable for someone to child proof the access to the gorilla pit.
That's because it's our home though. (And I would argue that even then, no matter how much we child proof, there are always going to be the type of hyperactive kids who can easily find trouble in their own homes if they want to.)
We can't expect the entire world to child proof completely. Not that it's even possible. Children need to be supervised for a reason.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
