As Bell Ringer and AC have said aa777888, personal freedom is great - providing people who elect to take those risks are fully aware of them beforehand - if not, you turn into a nation of Darwin Award winners, removing yourselves from the gene pool through ignorance.
Many of the general public are poorly informed and are happy to abdicate responsibility for their own safety to other people, whether those people are fit and proper to ensure that safety or not.
If you agree it is OK to exploit that ignorance because you are happy to take their money - 'Hell they should know better shouldn't they, it's a free country' - then perhaps you are not the enlightened thinker you believe.
