8 is worse yet! I hate to be critical but it seems common sense was on vacation. Granted a MP like this has a freakish rate of climb but surely this so called certified instructor would have known that and taken it into consideration for an 8 year old!
Reminds me of a similar mistake I made with my 10 year old Niece. She wanted to ride a small dirt bike I had. After a half hour of instruction I put her on it for a leisurely put put around the circle drive. No sooner than she twists the throttle.. the force of the accelerating bike pushes her back, she holds on the tighter, causing the throttle to come full on and she rockets into the corner of my house. By the grace of God she is not killed outright and is only slightly injured. I learned a HUGE lesson that day about young children. Thank God the tuition was reasonable.
