I think it's pretty neat feature for tooling around the parks. I would love to ride in the rear seat and still be able to steer. The handlebars move in unison because they're interconnected by the steering bars and pivots like on this Colson:




I wouldn't think it's any more dangerous than having the pedals work in phase because basically the stronger steering input wins out. The flight cockpits on commercial jetliners have dual control yokes that also work in unison although typically only one pilot operates one of them at a time. If you have two riders fighting to steer the bike in opposing directions, then I suppose there would be a problem, but these are not really high speed bikes.
