Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about him sliding out
from excessive speed. The thing you should worry
about, at the risk of sounding grave, is his riding too
fast to stay in his lane and hitting a car head-on in
a blind curve. Explain to him how that has happened,
could happen to him, and the rest he'll have to find
out on his own.

You might also mention how his helmet, if he wears one,
is rated for a 14 mile-per-hour impact.
