Correct answer
Putting their arms around the rider's waist
Holding the rider’s waist can be appropriate without restricting the rider’s movements. The designated passenger grab handles may also be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Remain seated astride with feet on the footrests and follow the rider’s lean. Dangling feet or leaving the hands without an appropriate hold is not the safe alternative.
