You mean children should, for example, throw a big brick from a bridge over a highway - and then run away?!

This is not the kind of thing that I believe 9-year-olds should learn. :-(

I forgot the sarcasm marker.

Regardless, cars certainly predate on more 9-year-olds than lions do in this day and age.
