The kid had on a helmet but no goggles.. looks like he got blasted in the face with the rocket, but I guess not. The dad must be dumb to think a rocket like that could actually propel the kid on the skateboard though. It's like those people who think a rocket engine on their bike/car/whatever will make it go faster than a piston engine would, except this is even tinier.
People, just because rockets are used for spaceships does not mean that a little rocket engine provides enough thrust to make your vehicle go fast.
