Re: How can a guardian be so careless!!

Topic Approved & Closed.

NOTE: Xbhp promotes safe & senseful riding where speed is just a secondary factor. We do NOT APPROVE the above linked video's actions, and strongly oppose such actions/ parents/ guardians. ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET & DON'T RIDE BEFORE YOUR LICENSED/ LEGAL AGE.


That said, Somen, I completely agree with you. Such guardians are (maybe) looking for a quick way to get famous or to make a quick buck, or making their offsprings more brave, or God knows what. The little daughter (probably) of this guy doesn't even have an idea that how dangerous it can get, even on the half the speeds that they're doing. And yet, we can't do a thing because all this has happened in the past and can't be reversed.
I know many of the famous racers started early, some on racetracks too, and even a racing license is available much before adult age, but doing all this on public roads with such no riding gear at all, then its a pity on the face of parenthood or even humanity itself.

But, truth being told, youtube videos of both good and bad actions are flowing in in hundreds & thousands everyday. Discussing them is pointless, as we all know that ultimately what we should do matters, not what we shouldn't. On youtube, I've seen people riding high speeds without protection, laying down under running trains between the two tracks and coming out alive, hanging on train overhead wires, touching them and getting killed instantly, plus all kinds of unsafe, rubbish or plain stupid stuff.

But I try not to spread it, unless very important.
Because, as you know, every Cigarette packing has a statutory warning of its threats, but does that stop people from smoking?
Similarly, if we post such videos with our own message, some might get the idea and still try it out, thinking that they can deal with the dangers, probably for the same reasons as this guardian above.
So, I don't see a point of discussing such videos.


If any other mod sees fit, he has my neutral consensus to open this topic, and discuss the harmful effects of unsafe & under-age riding in a constructive manner....
