I also agree no matter how much you watch a child things don't go as planned but I would hope for the most part at age 2 you are controlling most of their fate.

The point you are making is absolutely irrelavent here. That a parent could carry around their two year old in a kennel doesn't have a place in the argument. Because if that's the position you that parents can control every aspect of their kids lives then driving Should never happen. It has looked at through relative levels of risk.
I would argue that you don't control your two year olds fate to any degree relative to any competent parent. In a lot of ways kids take very little to keep alive. Disease or car accidents are what is going to kill your child. To imply that you somehow control your child's fate is incredibly arrogant
