Were they too inexperienced?
That's a terrible arguement to make!!! (I realize it is the dad's position, not yours).
That's like saying firefighting is dangerous, trained experienced people die and get into trouble all the time fighting fires. So why should anyone critisize a parent for letting a kid put on a suit and run into a burning building.
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A STUPID THING TO DO!
