Actually safety is taught very easily ,Once you Know what the limitations of the bike are and the riders ability .Sorry to hear your son was injured Hopefully it wasnt due to lack of adult instruction and teaching these pocket bikes arent toys nobody said they were My son is 13 and daughter 20 both know this and havent gotten hurt yet ,they respect the machine and its limitations and most of all they know there own limitations as a rider........If you dont like pocket bikes find another subject to talk about you dont see me going into another topic and bashing on how stupid i think it is Ok IM DONE lol
