Yes, it's very sad. This is about 15 minutes from home.

I only read through the first 30 comments, but didnt see anything too 'out there'. I also have to agree that 4 is probably too young to ride a dirt bike, I just dont see someone of that age having the ability to effectively control a bike. That being said, it sounds like the parents did everything right, I'm assuming the place required all safety equipment, helmet, shirt, pants, boots, chest protector, etc... parents took her to a closes bike specific, pee wee event, and the worst happened. My bet is that she got on the gas, was pulled back in the seat and never let go of the throttle and motored right into a hard object. My 5 (almost 6) year old isnt ready to ride a dirt bike, he just couldnt control it, I believe my 10 year old is, but she is too scared to do that.

I had good instruction, a wide open space, and a throttle stop screw so I could only go so fast... though I quickly learned that taking out that screw made riding much more enjoyable... |

Sounds like shitty luck of the "Final Destination" variety, you know? Very rare for someone to get killed under those conditions. Ugh, can't even imagine.

More little kids die playing on swingsets each year, but people will go fucking apeshit with hate over this.
That kind of stupid helps nothing. Humans suddenly have this feeling of entitlement to survival. Not too long ago, most of your kids DIDN'T make it, folks. The world is still the world, everything can't be babyproofed, and SHIT HAPPENS. Living in a fucking bubble won't save you. Get out, live. People have stopped living for fear of fucking dying. Can't just watch everything on fucking TV, folks, you get fat and die fucking anyway!
