He simply said that people with common sense will be smart enough to avoid being injured in such activities..

Well he mentioned rules ... and in this context that means laws

"Ever thought that the reason we have all these stupid rules that "made America soft" is because something awful happened with someone rode in the back of a pickup as a kid and the pickup got into an accident, rode a bike with no helmet and flipped over, climbed trees and jumped out of them and broken a leg, shot bottle rockets at each other and suffered an eye injury? You chuckle about it, but I'm sure there's plenty who aren't laughing with you."

I don't think I'm putting words in his mouth, but I am trying to take his viewpoint to the logical extreme.

Honestly, there's a seriously disturbing trend to criminalize stupidity.
