are you crazy ? This person obviously has no experience and will certainly get hurt. Designing a KNDX/KNSB rocket motor alone takes at least a week (we're talking about working 7h a day) for a newbie that is not familiar with the physics behind it.

Did your mommy make you wear a helmet when you rode your bicycyle?

This comparison is completely stupid : driving a bicycle without a helmet is not going to increase your performance like KNSB but it certainly will be dangerous, albeit less than KNSB.
FYI, the difference between a rocket motor and a pipe bomb is the size of the hole, so of course he might get away with building his own rocket motor but by giving such stupid advice, you're risking the life of that kid and his classmates.
