Safety concerns
There are many safety concerns that ATV operators should always take into consideration. Just because ATVs can travel on various types of terrain doesn’t mean they’re not prone to roll over on uneven surfaces. These vehicles can travel almost at the same speed as cars and weigh up to 600 lbs. All it takes is a simple act of negligence or a minor design defect to cause a crash. The injuries sustained in ATV accidents can be severe, including, but not limited to: broken bones, spinal injuries, head injuries, fractures, paralysis and even death.
Lack of safety training is often cited as the cause of these accidents. Many people who ride ATVs do so infrequently and underestimate the amount of training required. Anyone under the age of 16 is strongly warned against driving an adult ATV. Further, if a passenger cannot touch the floor with their feet while in a sitting position, they should not ride in the ATV.
