  2. Let me list some things that the health officials must have looked over. 1) Climb a tree. This means potentially breaking your neck or spine, before the age of 11 3/4. 2) Roll down a really big hill. Have you ever thought that there many be rocks or bumps to throw you a few metres in the air. 3) Camp out in the wild. This means there are wild animals that could potentially rip you to shreds and give you rabies. 4) Build a den. This may mean that the den may collapse on you while you are in it, therefore causing you to suffocate. 6) Run around in the rain. The child could slip and crack his/her head open meaning he/she would be in A&E for a while. That is all for part 1. Join me again for part 2 to critise this more.
