I dont see why child protection should be getting involved either. He was just giving his kids a good time, but it could have turned bad had the tractor had a failure....Thats all I posted it for....I have done some crazy stuff to when I was younger...****, even when I am older still do. I agree also, more people may be banged up in cars and such. I broke my back in 3 places on a dirt bike when 42 while trail riding, and nobody made me ride it. I will say though, I had a ton of gear on that saved me from never being able to walk again. But, there again, I see all the time people running through the woods with no gear on that are just asking to get hurt but come out just fine. So its all good......Just please be careful....
