Bad analogy in a Mormonad

Remember that Mormonad in the February 2014 issue of the New Era? If you're too busy to click on the link, the text reads:
"Dating or forming a relationship before you’re 16 is like riding a roller coaster without a safety strap. It’s a dangerous track that’s just not worth the risk."
That's a stupid analogy. Dating before you're 16 is more like riding a roller coaster when you haven't reached the minimum height.
