When used as a toy and not a tool , it's full gear or doesn't get ridden in my book

4 wheelers crush adults.I would never let a kid drive one unsupervised.

all atv have size suggestion for appropriate age groups. Helmets should be required at all times also.
Water is good for two things, Floating Ships and making Beer.

I use one, and I agree with anti gov. Use it more of a tool than a toy. Responsibility is a big part of it. It’s not uncommon to hear of people having accidents on them. One kid on my road was going way faster than he should have, lost control and hit a telephone pole. Another guy I know was doing donuts on loose stone, he didn’t get killed but it hurt him pretty bad. A few years back, there was a kid riding at night without lights on, and he hit a mailbox flying down the road. Use it responsibly, and be as safe as possible. I always go slow, always have my lights, etc. When used responsibly, they are a great tool. I’d have a very hard time trapping without one. Used irresponsibly, they can kill you.

IMO if they can’t ride responsibly they can’t ride at all.

I'm not sure which is worst. The parent who doesn't set rules or the parent who does and then doesn't enforce them.

Have a buddy paralyzed from the waist down, another fractured his skull and smashed up a shoulder. Young people just do not consider the danger they put themselves in. As much as it sucks to say, not your kids, not your problem. These days since they're his equipment it could be his butt paying for it...

unfortunatly it takes some of them getting hurt to realize
this is not isolated to atv
some kids need to roll a truck to find out they can't act stupid with a 6500 pound tool

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Not your kids and not your machines. Nothing you can do. Unless you own the property. Then you could tell them if they don't drive normal then they can not bring them to your place.

Humans are not born with a sense of fear, we learn this, some reasonably quickly, others need to be taught by example, either a picture or some one having a bad experience ! Most still feel apathy and invincible, hmm like many adults !!
If your not supervising young ones on such things, is it the fault totally theirs ? If they are taught reason and safety and still mess up, lets hope the learning curve is not a door of passing to the other side !!
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

If it's your farm it's your rules. You can't get a solution much simpler than that.
