I don't know why, but as soon as I saw the picture my brain said, "Oh, that's bicycles."
When you're going at high speed (particularly when you're a kid on a jacky bike that doesn't handle well) taking that weird turn is a recipe for either crashing into the bush or losing your balance.
Why risk it? Just take the grassy route.
Okay, fair enough. As a former child myself, that's eminently reasonable, LOL. Post text updated. :-)
Still too many 12yo kids on overpowered electric minibikes around here.
The problem isn't the toy, it's the parents.
