“Dangerous” Sports For Kids

A handful of summer camp administrators in New York are taking keeping your kids safe a bit far. According to The New York Daily News they are keeping many kids from taking part in "risky" activities like kickball and playing tag!

The state's Health Department created a list of supposedly risky recreational activities (like archery, scuba and horseback riding) back in 2009. But the list has grown and now includes such scary pursuits as Wiffle Ball, Capture The Flag, and Red Rover. The activities aren't banned outright, but they can only be offered at locations that have a medical staff on-site. What parks have this? Growing up we could get hit a few times and didn't need to be rushed to the hospital! I think the state has gone to far!

New York State is a complete party-pooper, Frisbee on the list of "safe" pastimes. Frisbees could hit a kid in the eye and cause blindness! How is that safe?

Do you think the state has gone too far?
