ATV Lifeguards – The revolutionary new quad bike rider Crush Protection Device.
The “Lifeguards” is a segmented Roll Bar that helps give crush protection on an upturned Quad and is less likely to cause injury to the rider. It is designed to hold up a Quad in excess of 350kg and can be simply mounted to the rear carrier. Special tests by Landcorp NZ and IRL have established it does not significantly alter the stability of the Quad.
The ATV LIFEGUARDS are passive, flexible and yielding, instead of hard and rigid. The segmented construction is a new concept and has the ability to deflect around a person’s body, limbs or head on impact. It cannot collapse or flatten and will support a quad off the ground and help to provide crush protection for the rider.
-
Flexible Roll Bar will limit impact, but cannot collapse.
-
The spring in the Roll Bar will help the Quad to bounce off you rather than squashing you.
-
Designed in an arc shape to deflect the weight.
-
Easily possible to push a Quad off from on top you. It’s possible to wriggle out from underneath an up-turned Quad arc shape assists rolling the Quad back onto its wheels.
-
The weight of the ATV is spread across you, and can support up to a weight of 500kg.
-
Lightweight design and arc shape allow you to roll the bike off you should you become trapped.
-
Designed to mould around you in the event of a rollover.
-
Segmented Roll Bar that helps give crush protection on an upturned Quad and is less likely to cause injury to the rider.
-
Designed and tested in Australasia.
