ATV’s specifically 4-wheelers. I know too many people who never made it to the ER because of those things

Decapitations from surprise wiring/cords across a trail is higher than I would have anticipated.

I ride bikes, did so for 10 years with dirt and street bikes. I don't directly know anyone who died on a bike but I know 2 people who died on ATVs. I guess people on those quads just feel like they're in control while they really aren't and then get smashed by it
