Seriously? It'd probably rather get hit with a falling one that sliced up at body/face level.

You can talk about what "used to be" back in the 70's and indicate what you feel is safe or not, the fact is what he was doing was reckless and if one of those passing people complained, or his quad lost control and went a street and caused damage, he would have to explain his actions to a cop, and probably face some charges.
Car's do count, we never flew over cars or people. empty streets do not count.
