How did this one make it through

Yes, bc people always do so much damage running over a pebble. would like to see how you would do on gravel

Tell your son to stop being a little bitch! Get him on the bike and tell him to go play with some woodland creatures. It will be like a Disney film!

It's okay he'll get over it probably like you when you went over the Handel bars jk I hope you feel better op

If OP hit the pebble just right, the pebble could have caused the wheel to slide out. I once was riding on a road and ended up skidding 3 feet on my face. Then i flipped three times before stopping. Gave me a scar. Its easier than it sounds to lose control.

Never let a kid miss out on the joys of biking. Specifically mountain biking

Do what my dad did, find the steepest hill you can find, and let go. I still have a scar but damned if i dont love to ride my bike.

Now try that on a dirtbike while relaxed. I nearly broke ribs if not for my chest protector. ALWAYS pay attention.. it hurts your wallet when you need to replace bent handlebars, and a broken killswitch.

Teach him that you're not scared and that you'll get back on and ride again.

Sorry but YDI: sounds like you didn't teach him how to pay attention to the road and surroundings.
