Then you might want to edit this too: “that they should make the decisions about risk getting hurt for me.” The syntax is ambiguous.
I see you have that Classic Liberal mentality of “Do not protect me from my own stupidity, give me all the relevant information and let me make my informed decisions as a responsible adult”. Problem is,
it is possible that the other person is unwilling to share all the relevant info with you (privacy, information hazard, shame, cowardice, dishonesty) or even unable (they don’t know or they can’t properly put it into words)
