Adult sports teams just order a bus and get on it if they need to go to an away game, but children's teams need all the risks outlined and specific permissions given. Adults are expected to be able to manage their own medications, but even 17 year old children are apparently unable to say what their allergies are, and have to have everything on file carted with them when they travel. <br /><br />I think you ought to also mention that no mechanism is known to exist whereby EMF can cause cancers, other than possibly skin cancers. It's not just that no studies show that cancer is caused, it is that people have looked hard to see how EMF could conceivably cause cancer and not been able to do that.
