I recommend braking by sticking an iron bar through the front wheel and using a small child selotaped to the windsheild lieu of a crumple zone.

Oh dear, wrong on so many levels.
1 iron bar, will need to be tempered or it may shatter, hence no braking.
2 small child, not very PC – as a medium child might be used on a maxi so best not to be ‘child size’ specific.
3 selotaped, does it have to be this brand or will any clear adhesive tape work as well.

Sellotape - surely you mean 'sticky backed plastic'???

Surely a rope and a anchor would better

Telling the difference is becoming tricky!

Maybe we need some standard joke disclaimers

You mean some sort of "hilarity indemnity"?

I'm going to wind my neck back in now so that is my last shot
