What a wonderful idea, I would have LOVED to participate in something like that when I was that age. Two important points, absolutely must have eye protection and highly recommend a helmet as well, even a bicycle helmet would be better than nothing.
What a supper Ideal one of the hard''s things in flying is learning to land its a time were so many skills have to come in play at one time or at least it was for me. By giving those kids or anyone the bases skills and felling of the aircraft close to the ground it will advance the student's flying skills at the start after all many of the accidents of new people at first can take place landing were power, airspeed and controlling the craft can get you into trouble with no time to recover . I wish I had a class like this when first starting to fly yes you can stick someone new in a plane from day one but it works much better if they have a little time in planes before there first flight as it gives them some based skills and they're not totally in the dark on there first flight with all the controls to master I thank you have a first-rate Ideal With the right training program, I thanks to its possible for new pilots to take off and land on there first flight and this is a step in the right direction from my point of view Wish you the best for this looks like a winner from so many ways. like Low cost and safety to start with
You might be surprised how many adults would like this opportunity.

brilliant!
Two thing. Get helmets on those kids, and get their free hand off the roll over structure.
what is the tow glider?
A pickup truck !!
Adults (like ME) would be interested, too!
What's the name or the glider those kids were using?
Ground Effect Machine GEM
LAK-16
Nice. But they would use a helmet.
When you make them wear helmets people get the idea it's dangerous.
True to a point better to have it and not need it
