ATV safety

ATV safety, teach it to your kids today, or remind them of the things that you have taught them. Helmets, safety gear and seat belts. A good friend of mine lost his ten year son in a tragic accident yesterday. The young man was riding their Kubota RVT in their driveway, some how he managed to turn the vehicle over became trapped underneath and passed away.

I just can't get seem to get it off my mind. He played football with my son's age group and was a wonderful kid.

I plan to have a big safety talk with my four kids when they get home today. I would encourage you guys to do the same.

Our prayers go out to them and you. I am sorry for the loss. I can't even begin to think what I would feel like to lose one of my boys. May God be with them in their time of need.

Sorry to hear about that..My prayers for everyone.
My kids were taught right from wrong from the very start..Helmets and how to lean when turning are important points to be stressed.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear about that. That is unfortunate, and so typical of how accidents happen. We also as grown adults need to remember to wear our seat belts while driving our beloved pickup trucks, as most accidents happen within 5 miles of our house. This is a wake up call for all of us, thanks for posting.

Our condolences to the family.

We try to remind our kids every time they ride about safety. They are also still at the point that one of us is always with them.
