If it's possible for people to interact with our heritage without damaging it, then that seems far healthier than removing them from public contact. I agree. But there's the worrying trend of dumbing down our heritage, which now seems to only be valued if it's "fun" or "suitable for family days out". You only have to look at the promotional literature and see how every bloody photograph has kids in it having "fun". Now I think it's great to get kids engaged with our heritage, but I think it's possible to do that without patronising them, playing to the lowest common denominator, and Disneyfying everything. And as has been pointed out, the problem here is that the message the NT are sending is that it's OK to dick around (pardon the pun) with our monuments because that's just having "a bit of fun".
