The Unique Design of ATVs Creates Risks

Unknown hazards and obstacles, such as rocks, ruts, stumps, fences, holes, and embankments, may cause collisions and rollovers.

• May cause loss of control from wobble or bounce.
• Create unstable handling on paved roads.

• May cause loss of control on paved surfaces.
• Requires special riding skills for turns.

• Makes it capable of speeds that are too fast for conditions and/or operator’s skill level.
• Has power to climb until it flips over backward.

Requires operator to meet minimum size and weight requirements to balance the vehicle properly.

• Requires operator to maintain balance on the vehicle.
• Creates a high center of gravity.
• Can cause operator to fall or be thrown.
• Provides no protection for the operator in a collision or a rollover. In a rollover, the weight of the vehicle can crush the operator.
