If you use common sense while operating one, not dangerous at all. Me and my husband love to go off-roading and 4 wheeling. Just be sure to wear any protective equipment you feel is necessary!

only as dangerous as the person operating them

golf carts, technically you can ride them anywhere. just don't try it at home or you'll die

[Billy H]

not at all if you not try to ride above your skill level

They are as dangerous as the driver is stupid.

ATVs are not dangerous unless operated ** an inexperienced, intoxicated or dangerous person. You might be thinking of ATCs (all-terrain cycles) which have 3 wheels instead of 4. Those actually ARE kinda dangerous, and they don't make them anymore. Stay away from them.

My friends and I rented 4 of them and had no training of anysort. The company just dropped them off to us in the desert with helmets and gloves.In hindsight, everytime I got hurt was directly related to me doing something stupid and irresponsible. I rolled it/hurt myself 3 times in 2 days. I didn't get a bruise or anything but, had I not been an idiot I would have never rolled it or experienced any pain.

I dont think they are dangerous. I have two quads and 3 motorcycles. I think it depends on the rider. My son hates the 4 wheelers. He likes the motorcycles better, says he has more control. I like the 4 wheels better because I dont have to be haulin butt all the time, I can sit and relax if I want.
