I have stopped trying to teach anyone to ride anymore. I just direct them to professionals and let them lean the right way. I have taught many people including my 5yo nephew to ride with good success but you just cant predict what some people will do when things go wrong. I always spend the first few minutes telling them repeatedly to pull in the clutch--no matter what goes wrong. Then I teach them everything else they need too know then I teach them again about the clutch. Once the power is gone the fear is gone (provided you are in an open space) and their senses can catch up and grab the brake or turn or whatever but if they don't take the power away even the brakes wont stop them!
