Thread: 4wd vs ATV vs SXS

I've viewed the GoPro footage of some poor tourists in their side x side tumbling off a mountain. Note: when airborne the inertia seatbelts do not hold you tight, and you get thrown from one side of the vehicle to the other, bashing into all the roll frame protuberances, but can't get thrown free.

In steep country a side x side is slightly more stable cross slope than a quad, but conversely on a 300kg quad a 100kg rider has a lot more authority when moving that weight about. Its called active riding for a reason. And its a whole lot easier to abandon ship IF YOU ARE ACTIVE RIDING, and not just sitting down being a dead weight on the quad.
