3 Residual risks
Even if all safety notes and warnings are observed, using the children’s bike still entails
unforeseeable risks such as:
– Distraction from the road due to childish curiosity
– Misjudgements by the child, for example with regard to traction, speed or their own
riding ability
– Incorrect behaviour by other road users
– Unforeseeable road conditions e.g. slipperiness due to black ice
– Component breakage or failure due to unforeseeable material defects or material
fatigue.
