The Daily Mail reports that the Government is looking into access to large areas of the countryside by quad bikes and motorised vehicles. Those behind the consultation claim that large tracts of the countryside are being destroyed. They also point to a four fold increase in quad bike injuries in recent years, including comedian Rick Mayall and more recently 'Prince of Darkness' Ozzy Osbourne who was very nearly killed.
corporateentertainment.net comments:- A similar fate has befallen clay pigeon shooting which also suffers from an 'anti social' stigma. It is also worth pointing out that quad biking on corporate events nearly always involves smaller machines with a governed maximum speed running on courses which have been laid with safety in mind of flat areas. Anyone looking to hold an event with quad bikes or any other motorised activity needs to choose an experienced supplier and ask to see a copy of their Public Liability Insurance certificate. |
