Actually it's innovation itself that has put is where we are today. Not sure why the US is getting a hit here for not innovating though, not following that a bit. You are right in that people are going to disregard safety and common sense, but that's not a new issue, it's been something to deal with all along. One thing that will probably happen though is more of those kind of fliers are going to find themselves in a world of hurt legally and financially when there actions cause problems. What's so wrong with that?
