I'm not positive but I believe it is for those that are not "factory" 2 ups.

Even private property? How is it any different than riding double on a motorcycle?

Big brother keep us morons safe. I thought consenting adults can do whatever they want if it doesn't put anyone else at risk.

having done it , it puts a lot of weight too far back and makes for hard steering on many ATV

like anything you have to realize your driving for 2 and it will not handle like when your on a 1 up machine by yourself.

a lot of injury and death started with >1 person on a ATV not designed for it.

a good comparison would be the 15 passenger van , cool it has 15 seats , and a 1 ton weight limit if you put 15x200 pounds for each person = 1 1/2 tons add in a roof rack with luggage for 15 and you probably have 500 more pounds on the roof. most fatal roll overs in 15 passenger vans happened when over weight.

I owned one for 18 years and have been driving them for 25 they like an atv with 2 people they handle very different when you have 10+ people in a van you have to take that into account when driving and not enough people do.

I am not surprised they have done this. People often lack any common sense today so they try an make it through changes in law.

I disagree with it on principal however.

unless you mean factory installed foot pegs

It's going to be a real pain In the butt when two of us are heading out for a day of Ice fishing. One of us Is going to have to ride In the sled. And that's not a good thing.
