I don’t have a utv but I have friends that do, and they drive em like they stole em cause they’re jackwagons. They’ve rolled them several times and nobody has been hurt except one guy broke his arm I think. The harnesses work, also what works is if you drive it like a sane person

they are like cars . basically equally as dangerous , but people treat them like toys.
then you look at the circumstances of the accident your likely to find several points of negligence.
speed , safety belt , inexperienced driver , possibly too many people in/on
people tend to jump to the same it's dangerous like they do with guns because they don't understand them, why they don't draw that line to cars I suppose because they are so common and they use one every day. like anything the details , if you wear your belt and drive safety , were you driving responsibly
most all gun incidents are people breaking all the rules , being reckless , stupid negligent , irresponsible. most all utv incidents are people breaking all the rules , being reckless , stupid negligent , irresponsible.
people don't think of tractors as dangerous , because they go slow , we have lost 4 kids in our county 4-H to ztr lawn mowers , tractor , falling out the back of a pickup , tractor again.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Cousin rolled one. Hand got crushed because he grabbed a bar when it rolled over.

I bought one for the grounds crew at work. They were driving like morons. I took the regular key away from them and they now have the yellow key. The yellow key is governed to 25mph. Fast enough for grounds work.

I was slowly tramming on a side hill and a large embedded rock is right in my narrow road I use and had to roll up on it with front tire.. ATV is no problem because it is narrow enough to go beside rock but when the back tire went up on the rock it got a little light on that side and the wheel left the ground. I’m going to bring rock hammer home from work and drill it and try to bust it out of the way. Clearing the old four wheeler trail to the back strip job and the cage makes it tougher getting through the woods but boy it’ll be great getting back into most places.

For some reason all you have to do is put someone on either a boat, ATV, or snowmachine and many of those folks think that all the rules pertaining to safe operation of a motor vehicle become null-and-void. A lot of guys who wouldn't think of pounding down a six pack and driving a car somehow think it's okay to do the same and then get on an ORV and drive like crazy.

I almost rolled my Ranger 900 yesterday. I was going slow through a big mud hole trying to stay on the high ground and one side slid in a deep rut. The mud was 3' deep or so I found. If I go up side down in a dam mud hole or in a stream I surly dont want to be strapped in.
