While I understand the concern, if I see someone not related to me doing something I think is foolish, I may shake my head, but I really don't feel the need to get innvolved. Now, if their foolishness poses a risk to me or my family or friends, I will be concerned enough to say or do something. But, absent any personal risk to me or my family, they are free to risk their lives or well being if they so desire.
Case in point. Last summer, we had renters on our street who had teenagers. They were driving golf carts up and down the street at high speed, then skidding them sideways by slamming on the brakes. Now, if they want to maim themselves, that's their business. But they were endangering my neighbors who like to walk around, or may be driving in their carts. Not to mention that they could lose control and go up on someone's yard and perhaps hit a house. I had to go out and shout at them to stop. And they did.
