THE scrambler bike accident at Colin Glen park is the latest incident in the north involving the off-road motor bikes.
However while other accidents have involved riders and passengers it is thought the latest crash is the first to involve a pedestrian.
Last July a teenage boy was left fighting for his life after two scrambler bikes crashed in west Belfast.
The 15-year-old was left in a critical condition following the collision on Glen Road on July 26. At the time a 16-year-old was arrested for his involvement for his role in the crash.
In 2011 Daniel Mooney, a 12-year-old from north Belfast, was killed when he fell off the back of a scrambler in the Ballysillan area.
Andrew Morrow was jailed for eight years after pleading guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, while Dean McComb, who was in charge of another scrambler, received a suspended jail term.
The motorcycles have become a regular feature of life in residential and green areas in recent years.
Comedian Jake O'Kane took to social media to call on Belfast City Council to intervene after describing how a friend had "almost been run over" on the Cavehill Road in 2013 by a group using scrambler bikes.
A PSNI guidance leaflet says that anyone driving a scrambler must have a valid licence and be at least 16 years of age.
According to legislation scramblers must also be used "on private property where you have permission to ride" and not on a public road.
