Re: wrong?

You can't pad every corner. The parents were ok with it, the kid had a blast, the driver wasn't just some squid at the spot. Lighten up, people. My parents bought me a dirtbike at 10 years old, put me on it with no training, and I didn't own my first helmet until I was 22. I think if the kid was holding on with her feet on the pegs and not looking like she was getting whiplash off the back, I don't think it would have been as much of an issue. Safety precautions were taken. People put their kids in FAR WORSE situations daily.

Something that you guys don't see in this picture is that she was wearing a neck (like monser truck drivers wear) brace too. Her head is a little back but the neck brace is stopping it from going any further back. Her neck didn't hurt her at all.

I'm on your side on this. I'm sure she was just fine. I don't have a problem with it at all. I'm just saying that if someone was just basing an opinion off the picture, it looks like her head was whipping back from the weight of the helmet.

My daughter likes it when we go out in the snow in the Explorer and whip 360's all over the place. Who am I to say anything???

Re: wrong?

Everyone is saying alot of negative things. Alot of if's and but's.
The world is full of things that 'could of' happened.
He didnt full off, the girl didnt get hurt. No point worrying further!
