Rollbar For ATV’s
The Lifeguard rollbar for ATV’s doesn’t just provide crash protection. It also makes it easier to roll an ATV back onto its wheels.
  The Lifeguard is designed to support a quad in excess of 1,000 lbs., yet weighs less than 32 lbs.
  It has an aluminum base with injection molded plastic segments forming the arc. Cables holding the segments together are made from 12-stranded braided rope with a breaking strain of 7,700 lbs. each. The cable is kept in tension with a stainless steel mechanism.
  The base mounts behind the operator’s seat. Mounting brackets are designed to fit most rear carriers. When a Lifeguard-equipped ATV rolls over, the arc soaks up impact. As one reviewer noted, it flexes, even when contacting the human body. The design makes it possible to push a quad over when on top of the operator. The arc also allows the operator to wriggle out from underneath.
  ATV Lifeguards sells for about $1,000 (U.S.). Options include a flashing LED light sewn into a red neoprene sleeve that zips around the top of the Lifeguard. It is priced at about $149.
