Sadly 
Because of Southern California deserts and dunes, was very popular in 1970s amongst my friends, workmates, and acquaintances. To many had to be airlifted to desert hospitals and suffered permanent injuries. To many deaths. Darn things were to easy to wheelie and flip. To small and unstable for average adult. To much power for a child. Was working at metal shop in those days while attending college. Most of my workmates did custom cars, custom jeeps, and custom 3Wheelers. For the 3Wheelers they replaced the tube frame with a stronger/longer custom steel frame, but did not improve its safety. Glad the flippin things are gone.
