As we must be united with this cause I wish to share Polaris's video that explains the issue and the effects it could bring to our sport. Please take a few minuets and you will understand the importance behind stopping the CPSC.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION 592-page briefing package
Got this off another site. Copy and paste if the links don't work.
They propose to do three things. They want to:
1. Limit speeds to 15 mph unless seat belts are fastened.
2. Require a specific rollover test to ensure traction breaks prior to flipping.
3. Ensure vehicles don't over steer and do under steer.
Can Am had the seatbelt speed limiter in 2010, Polaris in 2015, and Honda has the 8 second seatbelt light.
The seat belt table was interesting on page 246 figure 8.
They used a lot of Yamaha Rhino information.

Nanny state and lawsuits aside, I don't think the seatbelt limiter is a bad idea. When my kids are old enough to ride I'd try to figure out how to keep it from running unless they were fastened.

Thank HondaBob,
I seen this on FB just the other day. With the government trying to get there foot in on things... I'm sure Honda will become even more conservative when we consumers want the opposite.

HondaBob,
Thank you again... And I'm sorry to hijack your post. This info needs to be known.
Thanks.

To whom it may concern:

Please accept the following comments on CPSC-2009-0087 – CPSC’s proposed rulemaking titled Safety Standard for Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles (ROVs).

As an outdoor enthusiast I urge you to abandon efforts to move forward with the proposed mandatory requirements for ROVs.

These vehicles are safe when operated in the manner intended by manufacturers. Further, it is my understanding that voluntary standards are preferred, at least in part because changes to mandatory standards require a lengthy and tedious process which would make it extremely difficult to update the standards as technology evolves.

I understand that there are some disagreements on a narrow set of issues between CPSC staff and ROV industry engineers. While I recognize CPSC is well-intentioned, I also trust ROV manufacturers and their engineers to develop safe, capable products. I am concerned that the proposed rulemaking may have unintended and negative safety consequences if it is adopted.

I urge you to discontinue efforts to pursue a mandatory standard for ROVs, and instead work collaboratively with the ROV industry to develop the voluntary standards.

Thank you for your consideration.
