Boys, 10, demand and get the right to risk

Specifically, the right to climb trees:

Climbing enhances sundry skills.

The risks specifically and promptly came true: a boy (not one of the two who demanded the right) duly broke his pelvis.

And yet the right to take risks remained:

''But the good thing is, the parents don't want us to stop climbing trees because of this accident.

''The mum said her son is fine, and that his doctors were pleased to hear children are climbing trees, and that we should continue to do it.

''Yes, there has been an accident, but kids are supposed to have accidents. That's how we learn from things.''

If a 10 year old boy can take the risk to break his pelvis, can a 10 year old girl take the risk to have a baby stuck in her pelvis? Are girls supposed to learn from that kind of accidents?
