Definitely onboard with this. Particularly tired of my tax dollars being used to pay for self inflicted injuries playing all sorts of sport. Selfish types playing tennis then going to the doctor for treatment of tennis elbow, Playing Golf and going to the doctor with golfers elbow. The list of sports injuries is endless. We need to get these people sat on the floor doing nothing too.

Took my 12 yo son to Pick a Part yesterday, he wanted to get some suspension springs and axles to use for his blacksmithing. Were advised upon arrival that due to OH&S idiocy no one under 16 could go in the yard.
Went to our local wrecker who said no worries, go have a look through the scrap bin and take what you like. When I offered to pay he refused to take any money saying he was happy to encourage a kid and to come back any time.
Just highlights the difference between the ISO acreddited corporate beheamouth and the small time local business. Common sense is getting rarer than rocking horse crap these days and the world is a poorer and more ignorant place for it. Exactly how do the safety nuts think kids learn to recognise and deal with hazardous situations anyway?
Cheers,
Greg.
