25.01.2022 DEATH TO AN AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRY ATTENTION ALL AUSTRALIAN ATV OWNERS Time to clarify some facts relating to ACCC Ruling on Roll Over Protection Devices for Australian Market ATVs. ... Both news reporting and ACCC are using data from 2011 to 2018. This does list 128 deaths regarding ATVs in Australia. However these numbers to not show you any current trends and statistics for the last few years. For 2011 to 2018 saw 128 deaths not the reported 136 from the ABC. The averaging to 20.3 per year. However what is not been told is for 2016 to 2019 the average is only 10.2 deaths per year. This marked decrease of over 50% is from more rider awareness and of cause wearing a helmet. Bottom line is there is a 50% decrease in ATV deaths in Australia for the last 4 years. Non of this is reported and i would think the ACCC and the MPs were never made aware of these facts. From 2011 to 2018 90% users were not wearing a helmet and 55% were from rollover and 45% from a collision. This clearly means that a roll over device would have not had any impact impact to the 61 deaths from a collision. The reduction in deaths by 50% in the last 4 years is directly attributed to more rider awareness and manufacture training and promoting of ATV safety. I have said many many times that if you are KILLED in your CAR it is YOUR FAULT. BUT if you are KILLED on your ATV (IT IS THE ATVS FAULT). This is the current Mind Set out there that is simply untrue. The rollover devices are not supported by Industry because they are unproven and in many cases can make it more dangerous to the ATV user. Many do not understand that under this ACCC ruling the Manufacturers have to (RE ENGINEER) their ATV to suit any extra loads or stresses the Roll Over might ad to the ATV. The ACCC made rulings regarding ATV stability this in itself means the manufactures need to rebuild the ATV just for Australia. Australia is only 1.5% of the worlds ATV market this is why if the Government signs off on this the manufactures will remove their product from Australia. This will see thousands unemployed and hundreds of small businesses closing their doors for ever. Please SHARE this post as many times as possible and write to your MP and Farmers Association to stop this stupidity in its tracks.

13.01.2022 Please click on link provided to write to Mr Michael Sukkar MP, Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Housing. Michael is the MP that has the right to say yes or no to the ACCC rulling. Please reframe from language and be constructive in the debate. http://www.michaelsukkar.com.au/contact/ Steve Hunt... 07 40681126 0438681763 To all people in Australia. For the last 12 months, I have been fighting to save the ATV Industry in Australia. The ACCC has anounced rulings to introduce Roll Over Bars on all ATVs. These Bars have not proven to save any lives and are not fully tested within the market place and industry test show them to be more dangerous to the user of the ATV. The Roll Over designers went direct to the ACCC to back door the industry. Any death is not a good thing however facts are you have more chance of been killed in your Car in Australia than on your ATV. And most deaths happen because of careless behaviour and Drink Riding or allowing children to ride Adult ATVs. Industry asked for some regulation IE. Saftey Helmet, safety checks and training. However, bureaucrats saw fit to force the industrys to fit these sort of things to the ATV before sold the ACCC also saw fit to ask manufacturers to redesign there ATVs for the Australian Market. All major manufacturers of the ATVs have stated that they will simply pull out of the Australian market all together. What this means is that major manufacturers will be exiting the ATV Market. Means no more Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and so one ATVs to be sold in Australia. This also means that all ATV businesses as mine will close their doors. It is estimated to be some 650 businesses in Australia... I am one of the thousands of people that this ruling will affect I have written to Ministers I have sat down with representatives and exhausted all my efforts to prevent this from happening. I ask all of you to please SHARE this as many times as possible so that it will fill the FB to bring to the attention of the Government. This country is losing it when a few uneducated bureaucrats about this subject proceed to give in to those that have a vested interest in seeing their Roll Over Protection Devises fitted a wipe out a industry in one stroke of the pen.

Heres a look inside the assembly production line for models such as the Niken, YZ65, SR and MT ranges where Kando begins.
