Why aren't these machines sold with a rollbar. I really got hurt last weekend when my Honda Foreman flipped back on top of me. I think I could have walked away unhurt it this machine had a rollbar. I searched the web all day yesterday and all I found was a backseat ("backbuddy&quot attachment which may help a little. Check it out.

But what I really want is a rollbar that can be attached to the rear rack. A do-it-yourself kit. Does anyone know where I can find a distributor for such a product?

 

Maybe you should consider a jeep, also this subject should be posted in the "other" forum or the "utility ATV" forum, not the "new software forum", you will get many more responce's there

 

No one questions why tractors have rollbars or why forklifts have cages. These were fixes that came about after thousands of injuries and many deaths.

 

sorry guy, didn't catch that you got hurt, hope you get better soon

 

pancaked don't take offense to this but maybe you just don't know how to ride right. maybe you should have taken the ATV training course or read the saftey precautions and you wouldn't have got hurt. i bet you were doing something dumb when u fell back. or maybe you were trying to climb a hill and not leaning forward. it was something little like that that every is supposed to know about that got you hurt i'll bet.

 

If you want a rollbar, get an odyssey(or a go-cart) BTW have you ever seen a quad with a roll-bar, besides The Kangaroo Kid's one.

 

That back rest thing that you pointed out isnt going to help you at all as far as falling backward. Just like Juggalo said dont take offense but we have never heard of anyone flipping backwards just riding unless they were doing something dumb. The back buddy that you posted will just help you sit upright better with eaze and it even says for the non aggressive rider at the top.

 

Rollbar + Quad = LOL. If you're going to roll, just bail and all is well. Rollbar.....lol

 

pancaked its people like you that makes all these people hat ATVs because they think their dangerous!
