Not to be a spoilsport, but just an FYI

4-wheeler injuries have recently surpassed those of motorcycles in the last 3 years or so. Safety equipment should be mandated for everyone riding these things, particularly younger folks.

Given the fact that I have taken care of more injuries from 4-wheelers than I care to count, I do appreciate the fact that the gentleman on the 4wheeler in the original picture is wearing safety gear! :thumbsup:
I think this has less to do with inherent safety of the two vehicles rather than the fact that up until late 2008, many more stupid people were making enough money to afford ATVs. And really, ATVs are much more accessible to people without the ability to balance a motorcycle, which extrapolates to generally clumsy people. Ergo...
