I think every ATV I've ever been on has a big warning label on it that says not to ride it if you are under 16, as it can result in injury or death. I agree that a lot of responsibility should be on the driver. If you roll or tip a quad, usually it is due to riding carelessly and/or not being cognizant of the conditions or any obstacles ahead.

There probably should be a helmet law of some sort, but it would probably be difficult to enforce.

I would like to see better education on ATV safety though. Advertisements encouraging people to take ATV safety courses before they ride, stress caution when driving in poor conditions or terrain, helmets, etc.
