....where i currently live is a tourist area...trust me, i've seen 10yo's on pocketbikes without safety gear doing 30mph+ thru residential areas. i predict that this summer there will be 10yo's with HT's on wally-world cruisers, and i also predict they still won't be wearing any gear. as soon as one child gets hurt, the adults in the area who've come to rely on MB's & earned a good reputation will be shut down as a knee-jerk reaction.
so let's not assume (at the kid's risk) that the dad thought about safety, let's just agree that he is ultimately responsible for whatever happens to his kid, good or bad.
personally, i prefer "good" things happen to kids, but hey it's out of my hands, i can only hope that the "bad" doesn't screw things up for me.
