Parents/adult supervisors read this page first
PARENTS/SUPERVISING ADULTS MUST TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO SAFELY RIDE THIS PRODUCT. If the rider fails to use common
sense and heed these warnings, there is an increased risk of damage, serious injury or possibly death.
Riding this Product Presents Potential Risks.
• Like any riding product, this product can be hazardous (for example, falling off or riding into a hazardous situation). This product is, of
course, meant to move and it is therefore possible for a rider to lose control or otherwise get into dangerous situations.
• Both children and adults responsible for supervising them must recognize that if such things occur, a rider can be seriously injured or
possibly die, even when using safety equipment and taking other safety precautions.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
Parental and Adult Responsibility and Supervision are Necessary
Because this product can be hazardous – and not every product is appropriate for every age or size of child – different age
recommendations are found within this category of product which are intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the
expected mental or physical ability, or both, of a child to cope with the hazards. Parents and supervising adults need to select
riding products appropriate for the age of the child who will ride this product and take care to prevent children who may be too
immature or inexperienced for a product’s characteristics to endanger themselves around it.
•
The recommended rider age for this product is 9 years of age and older. Any rider, even 9 or older, unable to fit comfortably on
this product should not attempt to ride it. A parent’s decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based on the
child’s maturity, skill and ability to follow rules. Keep this product away from small children and remember that it is intended for
use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating this product.

head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these areas of the body), or pregnant women, should be cautioned not to
