I agree with what you are saying I was just pointing out the contradictory bit of the bit in bold.

Every day almost everyone engages in risk evaluation/mitigation as part of their own personal responsibility on a whole range of scenarios. Even crossing the road, driving a car., etc. People do these things and get hurt or worse regularly yet we don't set out to ban them. We give people instructions, tools and parameters within which we believe safety increases.

Similarly, there's streets/areas I wouldn't go into in daylight.
