I am so sorry for your exerience and the suffering of your family. Your accident was tragic, but it was an accident. I cannot, on any level, agree with the rest of your plea. There have been fatalities from many sports, including baseball, and also from crossing the street, and driving a car. But we cannot keep assuring everything. If we are really worried about the safety of the boys we wont let 17year olds get their drivers license, we won’t let ANY young boy drive up to the catskills without an adult, we probably wouldn’t let 15 year olds dorm away from home.
As a mother of boys I am cringing over the list of things people would like to ‘take away’ from the boys for the sake of their well being but tragic accidents are tragic accidents and if they display a level of responsibility when they play, they can avoid accidents to the extent that Hashem decides.
So many boys are literally breaking under the pressure of the yeshiva schedule, can we ‘do without’ that too?
