And look at the NYC ordinance, which has been in place since 1976. The law allows for one window to be used as a method of fire egress. It's been in place for over 30 years, and seems to be pretty effective.

This isn't about "idiot proofing" it's about implementing a cheap solution to prevent kids from hurting themselves when goofing around.

The bars aren't some massive seecurity gate, just a relatively small piece of metal screwed to the window frame. I put them on my kids windows when they were young, as I was concerned about then climbing on the radiator covers.

This really isn't rocket science.

By your logic we should scrimp on the $10 of copper pipe used for in hartford loops in boiler installations. It's not like boilers explode every day, after all.
