Nice project, but am I the only one who thinks it's a bit cynical to first advertise it as a "death trap" and then show kids riding it? Which means you either admit that the title is complete and utter clickbait, or you demonstrate an alarming lack of concern for the well-being of children.

Thanks, I am aware of that concept, but I'm also aware that many people's sense of humour stops when you start mixing "death" and "children"...

  FYI normal people would not get upset about joking that a DIY kid's go-kart is a death trap.

You’re not supposed to take that use of that expression literally, but if someone gets hurt for any reason, the lawyers will.

The two aren't really mutually exclusive...

I'm going to say, as a child of the '70s, that with proper parental supervision children can survive their parent's "alarming lack of concern for the well-being of children".

As another child of the 70s, I can tell you that even without proper parental supervision, children can also survive dangerous activities and construction projects that would invoke a visit from Child Protective Services these days.

  The native tongue of the writer appears to be Spanish. They likely either live in a hispanic country or in a hispanic neighborhood of the US, where such overbearing Karen snitches do not exist.
