I agree with booger. These things are so dangerous and yet people ride them like they're as easy as bicycles. These are NOT toys folks. So many people just turn their kids of all ages loose on these things too. Really responsible! I feel so sorry for this man's family and they're in my thoughts and prayers. I just wish these things were outlawed or something. Way too many people get killed on these things every day.

I don't understand. He hit posts in a yard "before" he skidded off the road?

You would think that reading in the paper about someone dying on an ATV twice a week would open some eyes, but I guess not.

This is sad. Atv's have a straight axle making them hard to turn on a hard pack surface. Lots of innocent people have lost their lives on these things. They are just not safe on blacktop. I will pray for the family.
