It is a fact that there is some inherent safety risk associated with using pogo sticks. But with proper precautions and safe practices, you can reduce the risk to a very nominal level. Firstly, kids who cannot balance on a regular stick should not get on one. Instead, they should start with an assisted pogo stick. After they find it easy enough to ride them, then they can slowly transition into using a regular stick. You should make sure that the kids are always using proper safety equipment. Kids should not compete with each other on how high they can go on a pogo stick. This will lead to reckless behaviour and, eventually, cause accidents.
