ATV Accidents

I see another fatal accident has happened with a young rider. When will people learn that ATV's are not a toy. There's a age limit and no matter how old you are they can be dangerous. Let's all be careful out there.

That's not good at all. About 10 years ago, a girl came up from the cities and flipped over in my neighbors drainage ditch. Besides spinal injuries, she drowned. Not a good way to go. One of my best friends was lodged in a drainage ditch underneath his ATV about 5 years ago. His dad came back on the trail 5 minutes later and lifted it off. He got lucky. Be careful out there, use common sense, and ride with a partner that looks back often.

As a retired fireman,first responder, I have been to many 3 and 4 wheeler accidents. Most are from to much speed and many are inexperienced riders. They are not a toy. It's no fun to get hurt out having fun as most of us know, so let's not be careful and teach others the same.

I got in a nasty accident last fall, and I've been riding motorized stuff for a long long time.

Broken bones, hospital stays, paralysis, surgery, time off of work, un-Godly medical bills, messed up body parts for the rest of my life, blah, blah, blah. It wasn't fun.

Be careful.

I know the law is tied to age, but experience level is probably more important to watch for. I've seen experienced kids ride way more responsibly than "adults." Most of the time the kids haven't had a barley pop or four, though.

Be careful, and set a good example around inexperienced riders. Take it seriously, and have serious fun!
