Can you image being that poor kids Father and seeing that on youtube? Especially at the end where it said he lived? omg... that would mess me up in the head a little I would think.
When my daughter rides the rules of our home say she must wear a helmet. I don't follow those rules. "Do as Daddy says, not as he does!" Maybe I need to rethink some things.
I am in the exact same boat as you. I just picked up a 1979 Honda express moped for my youngest boy and spent alot of time going over safety rules/situations with him, and my oldest boy... well, I don't let him drive anything anymore.
It's so easy to fool yourself in this hot weather and go for a short ride without a helmet, and thats all it takes to start that bad habit. I found myself on the interstate the other day, just a short trip, - no helmet!
Never again.
Don't take a chance guys!
