The people who ban these things are people who do not understand H&S.
The problem is also that the emphasis has been put on people having "human rights" but people have not got the message that with rights/freedom should come responsibilities. So nowadays "I have got my rights" turns easily into "I am going to sue someone" make some quick dosh, so everybody tries to cover their backs and implement the most ridiculous rules to try and prevent being sued because little Jonny got a splinter in his finger in woodwork...
And there are plenty of unscrupulous "lawyers" prepared to do just that, you only have to look into any local rags to find them.
Anyway, apologies about the rant/rants...I am just sick and tired of people doing their best to tell me how/what/when/how many times...etc I should be doing it, and telling me, tutut,
what you're doing is dangerous Dear, you could hurt yoursef...
The way I still see it, and that's obviously the old fashion way, is that if I cut myself, that's my own stupid fault, if I trip on the pavement, my own stupid fault as well, should have used my eyes...
Just.... go away, look in the mirror first, and mind your own bli/blip business...
Arrgh, that's another rant....
That's it: I'll keep quiet now.

I know I said I'd keep quiet, but... What they're doing wouldn't be my cup of tea..but then, running down a hill after a lump of rolling cheese wouldn't be either, but it sure is fun to watch
