# would you ever let your child
go caving with their school?
that's just asking for trouble

# Don't be such a poof.
It's a tragic accident, but I took my elder daughter caving as soon as she could walk (14 months or so)

# The former.
I can't see what the added danger of being in a cave is. It's more likely that a tree would fall on you in the woods than a rock in a cave. As long as you know where everyone is and other people know you are down there it is cool.

Children are good at caving, they have the build for the little gaps and are light for pulling up climbs.

# Wouldn't know about that,
Tin mining ended before I was born and I try not to stray North of the civilisation divide.

# The boy wandered off so he was probably not a little angel
Most activity centres are perfectly safe, its just the kids that make them unsafe by being stupid.

Occasionally you get a teacher being stupid and telling kids to do something like walk through a raging river but its very rare considering virtually every school has a trip of some sort.

# Sorry?
Am I a twat for taking my daughter or a twat for not realising that I'm not a school facility?

# I said this to my wife when the first one was born:
"I'd rather 99 children lived a full life than 100 lived a sheltered one, even if, God forbid, the 1 that lost theirs was mine."

I stand by that - I look out for them, but I don't stop them doing things they want to do, in fact I encourage and help them.

I'd rather one fell from the North face of the Eiger than got stabbed by a chav in KFC.
