Human error! Stop blaming the bikes!!
But with enough new laws the government can eliminate human error 🤣
That is not a quad bike...... It's a side by side with a roll cage..... Once again the media can't even get the story straight..... What's next? Only allowed to drive them with a special license, and that will most likely cost a lot of money to get?
Was about to point that out, the fact you can't bail out of them like a quad must be worse in some situations like this, I've rolled quads several times over the years and have always been able to step off as it rolls and one case let momentum roll it over me ( that was the infamous 3 wheeler though). I'm more careful these days, Sadly a lot of these are weekend warrior types not used to riding them and it makes the farm stats look bad.
@@silverdale3207 they have seat belts in them. At least all the ones I've used have seat belts and netting on the sides.
@@mvb88 correct they do, but my point is you can bail off a quad, if you're belted into a side by side and go off a cliff you're screwed, as you can't get out.
@silverdale3207 be the same logic for cars. If your going to have a head on collection with a truck. You can't jump out because of the seat belts.
@@mvb88 Totally different, in some cases the belts and ROPs are a good thing but as I said in this case and some others they would have been able to jump clear if it was a quad instead of being taken to the bottom like Ragdolls.
Unfortunatly holidaying city people at the beach or tourist are included in these statistics...but good old blame the farmers
I find it outright disturbing the police officer waves out to the 3 young boys riding the quad past her car, all 3 without helmets on, all while investigating a death on a quad ,that's nz police for ya ,
I have had one of those roll bars on my quad, for several years now. It has saved me once. It cost me $1200, better than a broken pelvis.
Human error thats all it is...people using them beyond their capabilities
It’s not even a quad bike, it’s a side by side with a roll bar
That ain't a 4 wheel bike, it is a side by side Vehicle, big difference! Shame our reporters and the Police cannot tell the difference between the two. Guess it works to make the stats look good though to apply new regulations
Funny i see Toko farmer on her bike , no helmets with 3 children on board aswell going as fast as she can on main highway .
Just shocking behaviour !
The biggest cause of quad rollovers is the best hidden one. The tyres on them run between 7psi to 12psi. All tyres lose air almost never at the same rate as each other. If after a week one tyre has lost, say, 3psi (or 25 - 50% of it's air pressure) it won't be obvious visually to the rider, but it will become obvious when stuff hits the fan. Too late then.
Also a lot of people are crushed and a lot of the time it's that they have stupidly loaded the quad and are going thru ridiculous terrain
People need too do serious off road courses before their allowed to ride Quad bikes , all accidents are all human error
It's all about training and experience. It a bit of why a lot of farmer's don't have them any more. Main reason is that 2 wheelers are cheaper to run and your going to have to be doing some decent speed to die via a crash on one. Normally worse case scenario. You get a broken leg or arm from falling off a 2 wheeler as farms Normally have a 30km/h limit.
@@mvb88 Might be the case on dairy farms but not sheep and beef where you need to tow a trailer and carry dogs etc, can't do that on a two wheeler.
@silverdale3207 own a ute or little 4×4? They are awesome and carry way more than a 4 wheeler can. Even the dairy farm I'm on has 2 Toyota rav 4 and some other Japanese brand I've never seen before. Odd symbol and can't find a company name on it
Sad day for all concerned ... but there is now way a roll protection device would do anything with the near vertical drop off on this latest accident.
In the film kids drove past the cop car on a quad no safety gear it’s on the road not register ,did they stop it
Pretty sure we'll find it's been a shocking month for deaths of all sorts, but some like these we can highlight, and some we can't. Nothing to see here eh?
Blessings for families. Nothing new, has occurred for years. You watch kids on them and worry.
Of all the thousands of quad bikes that’s a small percentage that have died.. no reason to go all safe crazy
And now the one in Peria two died after the quad went into water.
I believe that was also a UTV, not a quad (ATV). Sadly, seatbelts may have hindered the ability for the children to escape.
They don't turn like a car, they have a solid rear axle, not a differential like a car, so on a tight corner at speed on tarmac they don't want to turn
Polaris have 3 drivetrain modes. 1wd, 2wd and 4wd
Yea that’s coz u got to foot flat it and drift the corner then it will turn😂
what's she doing going off a mountain though. that could mean anything. also thats not even a qaud bike...
Same as gun laws .... death is the result of the operator ... not the tool!
When I was working on my great uncle farm and it was on high country farm.
We bought a four wheel motorbike before it went on the farm the four wheel motorbike went into the workshop to put a roll cage on it.
We put a sheep cage on the back towball.
I have roll the four wheel motorbike on the side if I had not had the roll cage.
I would of roll to the bottom of the hill and I was thinking about how to be safe.
If it's too steep of a hill do not ride a four wheel motorbike on and not side on a hill at all.
Same rules as any motor vehicles
Speed Kills....going to fast for the conditions
It's not the bike thats dangerous its the people that operate them. It's mostly human error to blame, all the protection in the world won't outweigh stupidity.
Accidents happen, no matter the experience.
Grew up around the farm at some point or the other. Farmers these days do a lot of health and safety talks. I met a farmer who commented about the prevention of swimmers visiting the effluent pond for a dip. He joked about that but they have to put it down on paper.
What if the front bull bar hits you first? there's no magical cure.
I'm surprised you can add comments here the majority of their stories your not allowed to think or have an opinion.
Change of Government starting to make media more transparent
Maybe they forgot to turn off the comments.
I remember going hell for leather on 80's old school trikes, think quads are dangerous..............
Tragic.wait for the inoculation
Damn i can picture that rog doll effect going down the hill. Savage.
That's really too steep hill to go straight down safety for even experienced it does look like a orchard type 4 wheeler not a 4x4. There is high risk of tipping from grass surface/slipping and downward forces of gravity. Sitting way back and lowest gear good tread and a route unrutted minium. Tarseal is dangerous especially riding fast on 4 wheeer was speed a issue? Actually even in a car a person can roll it by road surface, turning or braking too fast. Rocks and hidden ruts turn a small wheel base easily even at slow speed. The roll bar should be mandatory now on new vehicles and helmets are recommended. Note 2 wheel drive quads also drive different to 4X4 especially on different surfaces I recommend the Agrbusiness type safety course used to be free through ACC funding I did it with our son also safe chainsaw and tractor use.
The 2 wheel drive quads are usually for sport/racing right? You kinda don't want restrictions on those since you don't want to hinder the riders movement and agility.
and ACC calls it a motorcycle death , surely they need to seperate road and off road stats , bikes are paying almost 600 per year in rego to subsidize farm bikes and MX ?
Forgot about ohura death kid fell off quad bike head hit concrete crack was of the skull was so loud it was heard
That looks like a pretty big hill don’t think a helmet and roll bar would of worked
Where do buy this. Safety item roll bar
Roll bars needed with seat belts? Or maybe saftey training before use?
Darwin principal at work.
it's my life and if I'm having fun living it and I mess up and die at least I was doing what I was meant to be doing and that is living. stop trying to control us with your propaganda.
I see it all the time at my family beach house...zipping around with 4 on a quad bike at full speed...riders steering the quad one handed holding a baby on the seat with one arm.
They assume because it's in 4 wheels they can push them to their limits ...with up to 6 passengers.
No ear bags?
😂
Farmers hi risk in death.
Roll protection should be compulsory. it's been knowing for years men women children on Farme bikes .
Deaths in high risk job 1990 pilets /high rises/ forestry/ road workers/
Roll protection kills as many as it saves. Fact is farmers have more work to do than non farmers could comprehend, and quads are essential to the NZ economy in getting it done, deaths or no deaths
But I miss the point here, this is just part of a broader campaign for everyone to say what they really think about farmers
@@overover..Can you site some evidence to prove that roll protection is just as dangerous? Otherwise this is just misinformation.
@kandredfpv No. I just know that it has been trialled on and off over the last 30 years, and the number of crushing deaths from the roll frame or bar was the reason they weren't implemented
“High risk” is a bit misleading, you’ve got more chance of dying in childbirth than being killed on a quad bike
If you must use it at all, can you please use the word 'misinformation' nearer the start of your sentence next time so I can stop reading quicker? Thanks@@kandredfpv
