(Undated) – Authorities continue to investigate a rollover side-by-side accident yesterday in Flat Rock. Crawford County Sheriff, Bill Rutan, is taking this time to remind the public that side-by-sides are not toys and can be very dangerous. ATV and side-by-side manufacturer Polaris remind riders and operators that safety should always be the highest priority. They say much of the potential danger of riding can be mitigated by undertaking proper safety training, making sure your off-road vehicle is in good working order, and taking the appropriate safety precautions including wearing a helmet. They say even if you’re belted in within the cab of an enclosed side-by-side, a crash, collision, or rollover can still result in a head injury, especially if riders aren’t wearing helmets.
