This accident resulted in a broken hip for one passenger and a broken knee for another. Can you imagine being a father, taking your family on an ATV ride, and injuring them? I see it all the time and it's very sad.
It may not be the smartest thing in the world for me to promote the negative aspects of riding an ATV since I'm in the ATV rental business. However, I care more about you than I do the money. I absolutely hate seeing people get hurt. So, hopefully this blog will serve as yet another warning.
