Is this really a problem in the industry that needs addressing? And who's it protecting?
The gear manufacturers. It lets them set a minimum age so they're less likely to pay civil suit damages when an underage person hurts themselves and sues.
With large manufacturers that do a lot of military business having much deeper pockets than the average DZO it makes a lot of sense to me.
