A range of medical, agricultural and industry experts gathered at NSW Parliament to discuss these strategies which included age restrictions for adult bikes, mandating helmets and a united approach from the government.
There have been 113 quad bike deaths in Australia since 2011, with 32 deaths in NSW alone.
Shadow Minister for Primary Industries Mick Veitch said those who did attend the roundtable were in agreement on a range of issues, which included the mandatory use of helmets, that those under 16 years shouldn’t use adult sized quad bikes, education and community training of safe quad bike use and for politicians to work together.
