No child under the age of 16 should be allowed to operate an adult size ATV no matter how much training they have or if they wear a helmet. A child under 16 doesn't have the cognitive skills to make that spilt second decision when something happens. I should know, my child was certified trained and in full safety gear when the 250cc he was riding tipped over and killed him almost instantly. ATV's flip very easy and it only takes a second to have your child taken from you....why take that risk for a small bit of fun? It's truly not worth it. Please don't let you child ride an adult size atv.
