3,232 children have been killed while riding ATVs since 1982. This is for them, and the parents they left behind. Don't hope for a miracle. Keep your ATV off roads. Nearly one-third (32%) of reported deaths, or at least 770 deaths (during a four-year period from 2010 to 2013*), were related to incidents involving ATVs being ridden on paved roads or parking lots. It’s important for every rider at every age to know: - Off-road vehicles are designed to be driven only on off-road terrain, not paved surfaces. - Off-road vehicles are difficult to control on paved surfaces and are at-risk of overturning. - On paved roads, off-road vehicles are at a higher risk of colliding with cars, trucks and other vehicles. - In many states, it is illegal to ride off-road vehicles on paved roads.
