Well, here we go again. Did anyone see on the news tonight about the 12 year old boy from Wewoka who got killed on his ATV. He rolled it and died of head injuries. After the news anchor reported on the story, he went on to tell us all about the legislation that will require helmets for anyone under 18 and so on and so on. They interviewed Brian from Brian's ATVs and he said he supported it.

Just wondered if anyone saw it.

I didnt see anything about it, so what they were saying is he wasnt wearing a helmet? my daughter wears a brain bucket if she's just going to sit on it. now the big question which they wont say on TV, how big of a quad was he on? betcha it was too big for him to handle, lately everything I've seen on TV the kids were really young on a 400+cc quad that was waay too much for them, it drives me nuts! what kind of a parent would put thier child on a bike thats too big for them(not by factory standards) but by real standards. and after the publicity we've had lately why in the HELL would you put your kid on a quad without a helmet????

 

It was a Kodiak.. It didn't say what size, but I think it's around a 400

 

400 seems a bit big for a 12 year old but that's just my opinion, and I'm not even a parent.

 

last time I went to prague I saw a kid on a kodiack couldnt have been more than 8 and his parents had him riding it, I will admit that he made it to the very end of the technical trails on it with no serious mishaps, but even still he shouldnt have been on it. he was bouncing off rocks and his feet couldnt even touch the floorboards. impressive in the fact that he was a good enough rider to make it back there but still I cant believe they put the child on a 400cc 4x4 and just told him to let it rip.
