Are scroll saws safe for youth?

I'd like to have him start by making puzzles out of 1/2 plywood for
his siblings. I don't know if you can get less aggressive cutting
blades to make it safer or what.
Don't think that duller/less agressive is safer. Any time you have to
push harder to get a result, you're opening the door for accident.
Again, I'm totally ignorant of scrollsaws, thus I am seeking your
input.
They make hand powered versions called "coping saws." They even use the
same type of blade. They're more work and if you get a bad one you'll
hate it, but I like mine. :-)
