RISK OF ROLLOVER
Quad bikes are dangerous and could roll over causing injury or death to
the operator.
The risk of a rollover increases if the quad bike is travelling on uneven
ground or slopes, travelling at high speed, towing an attachment or carry-
ing a heavy or unstable load.
Risks of a serious incident are also increased when operators:
*are inexperienced
*carry passengers
*do not have the physical strength to ride actively
*are under the influence of alcohol or drugs
*are not wearing suitable personal protective equipment such as a helmet.
*Children are at greater risk of serious injury and death while operating
quads. Adult sized quad bikes should not be operated by children. Even the
smaller youth quads have been involved in fatal incidents in Australia.
Quad bike accidents are common and can happen very easily, so always
take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and children.
RIDE SAFE
*Always wear a helmet.
*Wear protective clothing and gear such as goggles, long sleeves, long
pants, boots and gloves/hand protection.
*Never let children ride quad bikes that are meant for adults — even as
passengers.
*Do not carry any passengers on quad bikes that are meant for one person.
*Ride on familiar tracks and beware of obstacles.
*Ensure children are supervised at all times near any quad bike activity.
*Always carry a mobile phone or radio device so you can contact for help
in case of an emergency.
