natural selection.
Liquor?
It is called the human factor.
Similar to the concept that guns do not kill. Humans kill.
If you can’t power out of a corner or a wobble you’re done for. Its akin to getting pulled behind a boat wake-boarding by a boat driver that thinks its all about how fast they can drive the boat towing someone else behind them… IMO.
Liquor? Really? Who in their right mind would drive an ATV after drinking? Especially out in the bush!
I wonder if they had a means of quickly releasing the tow rope from the towed machine. Without that, you are asking for trouble. Also, going any faster than a fast walk increases the chance of disaster.
Add alcohol, and something bad is bound to happen.
How much you want to bet that helmets were not included accessories?
Hope he pulls through.

Liquor? i bet over half of us drink every day and then do something that could cause some form of injury.
I will take that bet.
You drink and drive any injuries that may occur are self inflicted stupidity no sympathy here for a liquored up redneck on an atv
