I am on the fence about this whole thing of age, if she's qualified and obtained a license through the right channels and proven herself then why not?
But then it does beg the question around maturity around these machines and ultimately how young is too young? Still not sure if I would or would not let my daughters do the same at Anita's age.
I agree with this comment on maturity as I was very surprised at the age of the young child, I hope some improved safety comes out of this tragic event.

Condolences to the family of Anita
