ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a protective crash cage, or roll cage, for use with ATV's. The roll cage of the present invention utilizes a rounded shape to provide automatic recovery from most "crashes". The cage is designed so that it can be retrofitted to existing ATV's. The addition, a special harness system is employed which acts as a web to support the driver without restricting his ability to control the ATV through movement of his body. The roll cage of the present invention is designed to contain the drive wheels of the ATV within its boundaries except when the ATV is in an upright and safe position. Otherwise, the drive wheels are removed from contact with the ground in a crash situation so as not to continue propelling the vehicle in an unsafe manner.
