I think that's an important fact.
To say someone got tossed and killed from a 4 wheeler isn't that hard to understand.
To truly appreciate how irresponsible this was, people should know what type of atv this was. No one should ever have allowed a child, or adult, to be anywhere other than in a seat and buckled. That's probably written in bold print somewhere on the atv.

Idk, it kind of goes both ways. Yes the kid should have been buckled, and the cages/doors should have been attached. But a 4seater ranger is a lot heavier and has a lower center of gravity, also a lot harder to whip around and do donuts, and so generally thought of as safer, and not that easy to flip. My bet is that if this guy was sober he wasn't accounting for the sand not reacting the way the mud would, sand, especially wet sand has a much harder bite to it, depending on whether it was lifted and what kind of tires it had on it, this could quite possibly be an accident, though one that could have possibly been prevented. Everything really probably depends at this point on how sober the driver was. Either way, it's important to know the bike you're riding and the terrain you're riding on before you start pushing the limits.
