I encourage my kids to take risks all the time, I think it’s extremely important to have them learning things in life that are inherently risky, especially if they are very necessary (knife skills always comes to mind, because my mother in law freaks out when I let the kids use the sharp knives to cut their own food. Lol). And if I’m there to guide them on how to mitigate the risk, all the better.
Encouraging kids to dive at each other head first at full speed is way beyond that line.
When the risk is being actively encouraged, that’s a problem.
