Few regulations
Although some of Canada's provincial governments do set age restrictions on ATVs, consumer and safety protection advocates have called for stricter standards. This past September, the Ontario Medical Association, released a report that stated, "With a high center of gravity, narrow track width and short wheel base, ATVs are somewhat unstable." The OMA recommended banning children under 14 from driving ATVs at all. Even diehard ATV enthusiasts recognize the dangers of driving these machines. Andrew Ryeland, who operates Bear Claw Tours -- one of Canada's largest ATV tour companies near Parry Sound, Ontario, said, "If you upset the ATV and it falls on top of you, there could be some serious consequences -- you can break bones, you can burn yourself on things like the mufflers and the worst case obviously -- it can cause death."
