When people die on quad bikes, what kills them? Is it head injuries?

[Akzle]

It would not be too difficult to develop a tip sensor alarm which goes off when the bike has reached its safe tilt limit.

its actually not too difficult to not flip the cunts.
Being said, i dont know anyone, self included, that hasnt flipped one at least once.

Seen plenty of road bike riders fuck things up on quads, so that guys theory is a load of bollocks . Humans are stupid fuckers. There is a massive weight coming down on you if your unlucky enough to be under one when things go wrong. They can be an awesome work tool in the right hands, and a potential disaster when used by muppets, which 99% of the humans on this planet are.

What the fuck you smoking. by the time it gets to safe tipping point where an alarm kicks in, your already fucked.

[scott411]

Safe tilt meaning they maximum point they can be safely tilted. You would not set it at the point where it actually tips. if you can think of a better idea state it?

the problem is that you are going forward at speed, and the difference between tipping, and not tipping is micro seconds, you would already need to be reacting when the alarm will go off, the time between the alarm going off, and you reacting is to long,

[ellipsis]

There would be a chance of the alarm going off though if you are not travelling at an excessive speed for the terrain though. Too many people think they can handle high speed on any terrain maybe.

...a bit like hearing the train whistle just as you drove onto the tracks when the train is upon you...(why the fuck am I even replying to your trite wank)...take the bus...

So, in small print "safety alarm only effective if the rider is already riding safely" ? yeh, can't see that one selling too good

[bogan]

Considering they can tip over at any speed the slower you are going the more chance of the alarm working. How about you put your energy into posting a tip over warning idea yourself or are you too frightened of the idea being attacked by others on here like yourself? Or maybe you are just not bright enough!!

Did you mis the post where I said we had investigated exactly this idea? I can tell you we spent more than 10 mins bitching away on the internet about it too, by actually doing a bit of research you'd learn it is impractical, as many of us here are pointing out.
The only way this works is by providing continuous rider feedback as to how close they are to tip-over so they learn to avoid such situations in future, this requires the rider to a) look/listen to that feedback and b) that information to be (and feel) more accurate than the normal rider feedback.

So to summarise, my tip over warning idea, is learn to ride you thunderous shitlord!

Ban the use of them by fuckwits.

Yes I did read the post where you researchd it but not everyone gives up at the research stage and prototypes are made and designs are tweeked. All it would take is someone to do different research to you and take the next step and build a prototype which may not necessarily be in the form of sensors but fancy roll bar set ups which I have seen in the old press article over the years. You have just put anyone else off putting an idea on here as you wil likely attack them too.

Wait, you think you put up an idea that I attacked? You've said nothing new, and nothing of value, and used very little logic; that's why I call you a fucking pleb. Let me know if you have an actual idea and I'll take it seriously as I always have done.

Are you a kiwi by any chance because if you are not that would explain your attitude as if kiwis want to do something they often ignore theorists like yourself and do it anyway and are often successful. Pleb yourself!!

Sure am, raised on a farm the family has had so long the road bears our name. Spent much time in the shed actually building things, so there goes your theorist theory too

Also, pleb is a noun, not a verb so one can't pleb oneself

Perhaps you should stick to vague 'ideas' instead of trying personal attacks as yours have all the 'bite' of a post menopausal growler after being ravaged by the south african rugby team.

Does it take in to account the load of the quad? Or how fat the rider is? Or...
Why don't we educate riders on quads or stop giving a fuck and let idiots die.
Or, you can go play cotton wool lean buzzers games with your sandal wearing mates

Naaaahhhh mate, it's for talking shit and laughing at fat nerds, neckbeards, and plebs. Scores ten tenths in those categories.
