I applaud the parents for letting her try. In today's society of sheltering the heck out of kids, it's great to see that some parents are still doing it right - by listening to what their kid wants, and going through the proper safety procedures so that they can learn something by themselves.

Hopefully this does not end in tragedy. She knew enough to know when she was hooped by manually activating the distress beacons, so hopefully she can just hold on until they get her out.
