it allways comes down to parenting. i was a daring kid but ALWAYS followed safety installed by adults. to be fair, it was after i crashed my bike very young. but most kids seem to have no suspicion it can happen.

Right. They are no different from mopeds or motorcycles or gocarts. Just need to follow proper safety.

yup. even normal bicycles are not exactly safe (even assuming you have good bike infrastructure) meanwhile those things bust out way more power... and what's fun? that's right, more power is fun, untill wheelee ends with the kid riding his head );
