But aside from the education aspect...
Would it really be so bad if the stability standards (a standard set 21 years ago) were raised, even just a little bit, in order to make the quad a more stable machine?
Basically the atv industry has been operating under a set of standards that they themselves set 21 years ago when the ATV industry was just in its infancy.
If the automobile industry was allowed to operate like that we would still be driving vehicles with no seat belts, no air bags, and all the other safety features that are in vehicles today.
Plus cars would still be getting 10 miles to the gallon.
Industry doesn't change unless they are forced to. Change is expensive and companies are out there to make as much money as they can.... so of course they will resist and fight this.... and put out all the propaganda they do.... kind of like the tobacco industry.
