The dangers of ATV's (All-Terrain Vehicles)

Parents who let their kids roam around on ATV's, read this sobering article on the WALB website:

From http://www.walb.com/Global/story.asp?S=1591436&nav=5kZQK4Mt:
 
Colquitt County - A Tifton teenager was buried today after being killed in a go cart. Since his death, two more south Georgia children have died on all terrain vehicles.
It seems it never stops here in south Georgia. Children out to have fun, but never come back home alive.
- In April, five-year-old Matthew Baker died of head injuries when the ATV his father was driving struck a utility pole in Colquitt County.
- In September, five children were buried after riding on an ATV in Coffee County. They were struck by a suspected drunk driver.
- A month later, in October, 16-year-old Sarah Pound hit a dip in the road while driving a four-wheeler in Colquitt County and died. The four-wheeler flipped over on top of her.
- A month after that, on Thanksgiving Day, 13-year-old Blain Cooper died after losing control of his ATV in Mitchell County.
-In December, Dooly County teenager 15-year-old Brandon Royal, died after driving his ATV into the path of a pick-up truck.
- On Tuesday, 14-year-old Javaris Green died when his go-cart went into the path of a car on a busy Tifton road.
(...) Almost all ATV's purchased from dealers do not meet the state definition of road worthy.
However, interestingly enough, no helmets are required while riding an ATV. And one approved for the highway, does not need a license tag, nor is insurance required. The driver must be 16 years old and have a valid driver's license.

The article lists almost a dozen other incidences of children killed or suffering head injuries while riding ATV's. How do you think the parents will live with that, for the rest of their lives? Don't let kids get on ATV's. Period.
