Seems like placing your feet on a steady surface would really help with your balance on the machine.

So have any of you added aftermarket foot rests, and if so are they adjustable? I want the machine to be as safe as possible of course.

Only other choice is something like a Grizzley with a rear seat box. I know they aren't supposed to be safe that way, but they almost look safer for small children as they are cradled by the seat box on either side. Plus I think I have seen them with aftermarket adjustable foot rests. Thanks.
