 ATVs are now mandated to have a label stating these vehicles greater than 90cc should not be used by riders under the age of 12. However this is not a law but a manufacturer and CPSC recommendation. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the CPSC actually recommend that no children under the age of 16 should ride it. A Canadian study went further and stated that the injury patterns, severity and cost to the healthcare system of pediatric injuries associated to ATVs resemble those caused by motor vehicles and public policies should reflect that fact.

The United States government actually maintains a website about ATV safety and recommends not driving it with a passenger because the extra person makes it difficult or impossible to shift weight which is required to drive. Another recommendation is to not drive on paved roads because they have solid rear axles with no differential. There are also many websites about the danger of ATVs which have been created by parents and relatives of children killed by ATVs.

Many of the common ATV injuries could be prevented with proper safety equipment such as helmet, eyewear, gloves and riding boots. Aggressive riders that ride on challenging terrain such as rock crawling or hill climbing should wear a motocross style chest protector and shin guards as well.
