yeah, preventable. strap kid to the bed or lock in the cellar and no car will ever harm it, right.
there will never be 100% safety, kids do stupid dangerous things, climb stuff that shouldn't be climbed, we all did. in past, people accepted that, accepted the risk of injury and death for their kids, it was part of growing up. we just grew weaker recently, became control freaks, with illusion that we can control everything, while losing so much more. freedom.
fck, i am so glad i grew up in exactly that period of experiencing many good old things, and be able to apreciate new cool stuff too.
