you have to consider what speed you are willing to crash at and how much your life is worth first....

If speed is a real problem then don't worry about ATVs and worry about things like sport bikes and these:

My winter toy does 115 MPH and gets there in less than 10 seconds!
Name:  01_mxz600_1024.jpg
Views: 40
Size:  56.6 KB

My buddies 800 REV does 140 MPH and gets to 100 in less than 4 seconds.

It boils down to how straight your head is on and not being a dumb *** when it comes to speed vs terrain vs experience.

You could die doing 35 MPH if the conditions and circumstances are right.

Easier to hurt myself on a ute sometimes, extra weight and all making it harder to control and heavier to cause damage when it hits/crushes me.

Speed never killed anyone...suddenly stopping now that's another story.

Yes sir! That 60 MPH to ZERO MPH in less than a second could be brutal on the body.

Like they say: "It's not the fall that kills you, it's the landing"
