Dam those 3 wheeled atv's Making people drink and drive and drug and drive.

Where are these accounts coming from? Personally I think they sound made up. There are going to instances where everything was done correctly and people still get killed. That never happened once? Hard to Believe.
A comparison that comes to mind is the death of Dale Ernhart SR. He wasn't necessarily doing anything wrong. Just a freak accident. Looks like no one on a 3-wheeler ever had a freak accident. These accounts make is sound like everyone who ever got a hurt on a 3-wheeler was riding 60mph drunk in the woods at night with no head light. WTF.

I think cars and trucks should be banned because every day people drink and drive and crash and die.

I have not changed the reports at all. They are straight from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The reports are actual and truthfull. This is the reports that were reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission at the time of the accident. I was simply pointing out what I saw as proof that the 3wheeler was not the fault. There was an old man who flipped his 3wheeler going up and incline. He was 90yrs old. That is rider error. Yes tires grip at the wrong time and flip the bikes. I would assume there is reports like this in the report on the website. I am not going to sit and read for 3 hours again. Check them for your self rather than the cherry picked ones.

What percentage of these are where they get tagged by a car? wtf they shouldn't even be riding on the road no matter how many wheels it has.

Let us know when you find one that could even remotely be considered a result of the design.

I read 90% of them and there was "1" in all the reports that could be an issue.

of all the ones, this one is theone htat hurts me the most. I would love to beat the living out of the parents. yes LOVE it as in no exageration there....

880719HBC0424|19880701|D|75|57|8|2|6 |1|RICHMOND |UT|THE VICTIM IS A 6-YR.OLD MALE WHO WAS RIDING AS A PASSENGER ON 3-WH. |ATV WITH HIS 9 YEAR OLD BROTHER DRIVING. THEY ATTEMPTED TO CLIMB THE|SIDES OF A SILAGE PIT THEY WERE DRIVING IN. THE ATV TURNED OVER BACK|WARDS AND LANDED ON THE VICTIM'S HEAD. NEITHER THE VICTIM NOR HIS |BROTHER WERE WEARING HELMETS. THE VICTIM WAS DOA.

Who in their right mind lets a 9 yr old give a 6 yr old a ride w/no helmets and they ride stupidly and probebly on a bike too powerfull and big for them.

[Lukeatc185]

neither of those are result of design either. the wheel came off when he hit dirt comming down a hill? thats bs. it probably was not tight and just flew off. and it said he had a helmet that WAS NOT suitable for off road use.

[dan440hemi]

just reading these pisses me off i cant beleave the stupidity of these reports and the victims

[ilmoakw]

If he was decapitated is it really necessarily to go on to tell that he was dead at the scene?
