dandanI'd say probably less dangerous than a BB gun, but similar enough perhaps. Do you trust your kid with a BB gun? It all depends on how responsible you think your kid is and how well you can teach them "gun" safety. If you give it to them I'd make it very clear that they are not to shoot people or animals with it under any circumstances and that it is dangerous but you trust them because they are responsible. Then make a big deal of teaching them the four rules of gun safety (just treat it like a gun as far as safety goes). They should also probably be taught not to dry fire it. In a normal bow or crossbow this can cause damage. If they want to uncock it, they should either load it and fire at a target or pull the string up and ease it forward slowly. It should also not be stored loaded or cocked or it could weaken the bow.
