The odds of dying when playing American football in the USA:

1/78,000 (approximitely)

The odds of dying when playing RR with a normal revoler in a standard setting:

1/6.

The odds of dying in a car in the USA:

1/6000 (approximitely)

So shoukd parents, who let their children drive cars, or indeed drive them around in them, be jailed?
