Your girlfriend's little brother, who is riding shotgun decides to pull (or push) on the choke (or enrichener) knob. What happens if it is a standard choke? What happens if it is an enrichener circuit?
Nothing nearly as bad as if he pulled a chute or went full flaps at high speed or feather at full throttle. ;)
I don't fly with kids who like pressing buttons and knobs without regard to safety.
