(Transportation-News.com, September 14, 2012 ) Brisbane,Queensland -- The motorsport industry is big business in Australia, with a huge number of motorsports enthusiasts, and a recent decision by the All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) industry means that many suppliers and retailers are rethinking safety when it comes to Australian motorsports.
The ATV industry, along with the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI), called for proposals rejecting the use of rollover devices in ATVs. According to a report conducted by Dynamic Research Inc. (DRI), Rollover Protection Systems (ROPS) and Crush Protective Devices (CPD) on ATVs can actually cause a high risk level for injury relative to the benefits offered by the devices.
Cameron Cuthill, FCAI motorcycle manager, responded to the findings, saying “The findings of the DRI research report cannot be disputed. The research is state-of-the-art technology and is based upon published research and relevant portions of international research standards, as expected of a quality report. It confirms that rollover devices, and in particular so-called ‘crush protective devices’, should not be fitted to ATVs.”
“This is important to the ATV and motorsport industry,” commented the owner of Icebear Motorsports, a retailer of cheap import quad bikes in Brisbane, and cheap imported dirt bikes in Brisbane.
“When it comes to motorsports, safety is the top concern for both retailers and customers, and it’s alarming that these devices that are supposed to increase safety in motorsports vehicles are actually very dangerous.”
The ATV industry has released a statement urging all those involved with the sale or buying of ATVs and other motorsports vehicles to review the findings of the DRI report with care and study the claims made by CPD suppliers and supporters.
In addition to rollover device warnings, Cuthill offered other words of warning to people who engage in activities involving motorsports vehicles, saying “ATVs are not toys and should not be treated as such. Unfortunately, while the focus remains on rollover devices, real solutions will continue to be ignored. Attention should instead be maintained on helmet use, training and keeping children off full-size ATVs.”
“These are claims that we take very seriously,” said the Icebear Motorsports owner, who offering cheap quad bikes for sale in Brisbane, along with cheap dirt bikes for sale in Brisbane. “We’re going to review the DRI findings, along with any other research we can find on the topic, and we’re going to urge all of our customers to do the same. Safety is a priority with all of the products we sell, and that’s something that will continue as a vital part of our business.”
