Did you know that more than 40 children have been killed or seriously injured on all-terrain vehicles this year? Some trauma centers treat, on average, 6-8 children annually (and that’s leaving out the ones killed on the scene).
Children actually don’t have the motor skills and ability to safely handle the vehicles, and injuries caused by ATVs are not minor. Think comas, brain injuries, paralysis.
They look like toys but should be thought of as traumatic. Please tell others.

But they are SO fun, and last time I checked, the only person to have an ATV spill in my family was my father, not the kids. Though I guess we don't quite count as kids anymore... good call. Advice heeded.
