re: 12 year old dies on 4 wheeler north of Watson today

On flat ground, no, neither a four wheeler nor a side by side are easy to flip. But since they're often driven on uneven terrain (ditches, ruts, etc) flipping is a very common occurrence. My 10 year old cousin suffered severe permanent brain damage in a four wheeler accident several years ago and it seems like I hear another story like this every week. Those machines are MUCH too heavy and dangerous to be driven for fun by a kid. The only time a child should ever be on one is if an adult is driving and it's just for transportation, not for a joyride. It doesn't take a genius to see what a machine with that size and power can do to a kid if it rolls on them
