ATV AccidentsSafety Engineering Resources has extensive experience in dealing with All-Terrain Vehicle, Three-Wheeler, Four-Wheeler fatal and injury accident cases. ATV rollover accidents occur when an ATV overturns, resulting in crushing of the operator. Injuries and fatalities due to ATV's are an obscenity - simple solutions exist to minimize the possibility of an accident occurring and more importantly, to prevent severe injury and death in the event of an all-terrain vehicle accident. Older all-terrain vehicles and some new models failed to use a differential, which results in a higher chance of overturning an ATV. High centers of gravity result in a higher chance of rolling an ATV - Safety Engineering Resources product testing can determine if a particular ATV model contains these design defects. A wide range of other product defects could be responsible for ATV accidents, including defective brakes, defective controls, improper operator placement, and manufacturing defects. The propensity of ATV's to overturn due to design defects and highly variant terrain necessitates the use of adequate guarding to protect the product user in the event of an overturning accident. This means a roll-over protective structure, ROPS, combined with a seatbelt. The combination of these low-cost, simple design elements protects the operator in the event of an overturn.Check out our issue of Forensic Clues that deals with ATV accidents by clicking here.
