ATV accident kills 84 year old rider

Handling  ATV  looks  deceptively  simple.  Safe  operation  needs   both  strength  and  effort.  A  84 year  old  man  was  killed yesterday    when  his  ATV  toppled over while taking a turn in   America.  

He was attempting to turn right onto a dirt road when he overshot the road and went off the other side, the Police said. ATV tends to be reluctant to turn in hard surface in absence of differential.  So poor judgment of speed and centrifugal force could be the reason.
