Just say you live in a big neighborhood with a lot of kids and there's only intermittent cars coming through every few minutes. It's summertime and all the kids are going to each others houses to swim and play video games. Would you think it's safer for them to walk(up to a mile), ride bikes, take a golf cart, etc?

Statistically more injuries occur walking than any of the other forms.

But walking is the safest.

I rode my bike everywhere as a kid, but now parents are too wimpy to even let kids do that. Raising a bunch of soft frail vagainas too scared to get skinned knees.

Walking or biking

Kids do dumb stuff with the gas/electric powered vehicles.

Although kids do dumb stuff walking and riding bikes too, I can't believe some parents think it's okay to let there kids drive golf carts around. I can't stand when adults do it, but letting your 8 year old do it is just doubling down on dumbass

Manscaping whilst pogo sticking is statistically the most dangerous mode of transport.

Like tying a bike to the back of a go kart with a karate belt and then getting pulled through the streets of Plaquemine?

True story actually. Good times until I was covered in scrapes after losing it in the gravel.

True, but data is skewed do to most injuries coming from the geriatric population.

Walk or bike they need exercise anyway.

Golf carts can be dangerous if they clowning around.

Kids need to ride or walk to the park and go play more, or explore more. They need to stop being glued to the couch and electronics.

I see kids in my neighborhood(NYC) riding razor scooters with helmets on. Parents are such pussies up here.
