these videos have some good info on many of the "issues." i stand by my belief that the problem was with the riders and not the machine. too powerful for unskilled riders. look at the sport bike world. lots of new riders get hurt and killed bc they try to ride beyond their skill level. another issue was that the atv industry did little to try to remedy the problems and complaints the gov brought to them and the dealerships where not even trying to speak about safety.  i cant predict what could have happen but i feel that if the atv manufactures started to promote and push "safety" among riders such as wearing protective gears and do more to prove that it wasnt the machines fault and it was the rider maybe things could have been different. instead they just continued sell a do little to try to self regulate themselves just to get the gov off their back. i ride trikes and have ridden and ridden on them since i was barely strong enough to hold on. they arent anymore dangerous than a 4 wheeler.
