About ATV Rollover Accident
ATVs have become popular for work and recreation on many farms and ranches. Unfortunately, reported cases of serious injury and death from an ATV rollover accident have increased along with their increased use. Most of these ATV rollover accident injuries and deaths can be attributed to unstable design, too high center of gravity and/or operator error.
Make ATV safety a priority on your farm or ranch
An ATV is not a toy, children should not be permitted to operate ATVs without specialized training and then they should be allowed to only operate an ATV of an appropriate size.
