Kravitz on moto tragedy (must read)

Nice work by Kravitz today.  We can’t stop bad things from happening in life.  As a society, we have to stop worshipping safety as the highest value.

Here’s what they don’t get: Young people get hurt, or even worse, playing football, playing hockey, playing any sport. Some of the most devastating injuries come in cheerleading. In motor sports, virtually every driver at the IndyCar, NASCAR and F-1 levels began driving before they turned 10 years old.

According to the United States Grand Prix Riders Union, this is the first fatality at this level in the nine years of the sanctioning body’s existence.

We want to protect them, never let them cross the street, but in the end, we can’t expunge the risks, and we snatch away their dreams at our peril.
