I've ridden quads for about 18 years of my life and have even flipped a few, including one straight backwards over my head on a 70 degree incline. Yes I was stupid to try going up.
That being said, its all about the operator. If you know how to balance yourself properly, its not that hard to do handle it at very high speeds without tipping it over.
I disagree that they're dangerous. I think idiots that are drunk make them dangerous, and they also give the rest of us 'safe' riders a bad name.
I've had more injuries on the hockey rink.
