ATV Roll bars?
11/26/12 at 09:50:55

Roll bars for ATVs discussed at U.S. safety commission summit

David Robertson, founder of the company Quadbar Australia, made a presentation on his Quadbar Crush Protection Device, which is a hairpin-shaped hoop mounted on the ATV behind the rider.

He says his device, which he only makes for utility quads, has been used successfully in Australia for a number of years and has proven effective at preventing injuries and deaths associated with ATV rollovers.

As further information the Quadbar Crush Protection Device sells for �$583 Australian Dollars or roughly $562.00 US plus international shipping for what to me looks like $20 worth of bent tubing, U-bolt clamps and some paint.

What do you think should this be a mandated piece of ATV hardware?

Meh! I can see this as being yet another excuse for not wearing a helmet. The trails I (we) ride would be too low for this contraption. I've been through at least 8 roll-overs since starting my ATV'ing adventures, and the helmet has always protected my head.

..can't say much about my ribs or chest, though -- because when that ~900 pound ATV lands on you, it's not your head that takes the hit!

I see it now. Smiley

Look at the terrain he rides his roll bar equipped ATV. Rolling on floor laughing

He needs to come ride in Utah...not some beach!

However...it might protect you from some low flying seagulls. Grin
