And for the 14 year old, that responsibility falls to the parent to teach their child to be self thinking by the time they are 14, and have the child realize a quad is something to be respected. A smart, responsible, intelligent 14 year old has nothing to fear on a quad unless they are still too lite to operate them properly.

So I take it you are against helmet rules in organized hockey?
Helmet laws for motorcycle riders?
Seat belt laws for automobile users?
Lifejacket laws for boaters?
... as for a 14 year old... a 14 year old is still a child with an immature not fully developed mind who on average, tends to do stupid things all the time because he or she did not think. There are exceptions but it is not the rule.
