Quad Rider Loses Control and Crashes on Rocky Road

As fun as riding an ATV fast on rough roads might be, doing so comes with some real dangers. Quads have extremely good suspensions which make them ride smooth over rocky roads and uneven terrain, and for some riders this might be a strong incentive to throttle even harder.
However, due to their very construction, ATV are less stable than other off-road vehicles and they don't lean like motorcycles do. In order to have them running on track during fast turns, riders have to compensate by shifting the weight from side to side and sometimes they even have to "hang" off their seats. And as if this would not be enough, all these maneuvers must be performed really quick.

Failing to do so may lead to crashes like the one in this video. Lucky riders, we must say: the crash happened at high speed and the guys were wearing trunks and t-shirts, so they could have sustained very serious injuries. Luckily all ended in ripped clothing, some minor back and forearm injuries and two broken mirrors.
