Most of the time managers are trying to be helpful, and most of the time they do in fact understand quite a lot of the background of a project.
I'd suggest to try to see the situation from their perspective, which you maybe already did, but sometimes this helps understanding a perceived lack of action.

It’s not good if they’re paralyzed by this though. If the manager automatically says no to anything that may contain some element of risk, I will stop telling them.
