ATV's are they safe?

[Tippiechick]

My husband and I have an ATV... It scares me, though. We use it to get to the back of my parents' land. He uses it to go hunting, too. Occasionally, him and his friends ride trails on ATVs.

I think anyone under 18 should not be allowed on ATVs. Just his year, our small town has buried 3 people under 18 that died as a result of ATV accidents. We just buried a friend's brother this past morning.

ATVs are dangerous. I have almost tipped over countless times when crossing over the rough land on my mom and dad's farm. I only ride it when I absolutely have to. You have to really be careful when riding them to keep them from tipping. I know most 14, 15, 16 year-olds are not going to be paying too much attention when riding with friends.
