Sometimes people fall down the stairs in their own homes. That doesn't mean the government should mandate everybody to wear helmets at home does it?

A measure needs to be in proportion to the actual risk it seeks to mitigate.

I am not in favour of limiting adb access, but this does beg the question, how many accidents would it take to cause enough overfull ERs to make the requirement of staircase railings a thing, in order to make sure there are doctors to treat other things than broken bones. uh happy Saturday.
