About Ag Tech Industries Ltd manufacturers of “TRAX Equipment” and “LIFEGUARD®” products is a family owned business which started operating in 1972 in the basement of our family home. Story Our next challenge began in 2010 when we started following the Roll Bar issues and the concerns from Safety Authorities about the ATV injuries and deaths. Motorcycle manufacturers in USA strongly discredited roll bars due to the injuries they say that can be caused by them in the event of an accident and they effectively stopped their use. Behind this was also litigation issues that could arise from accidents. Since this happened statistics have shown that there has been an increase in serious injuries and deaths on ATV’s. Safety Authorities in Australia and New Zealand are looking for answers and have now agreed that the research from the US Motorcycle manufacturers was flawed because the findings were based on computer models that failed to simulate real accidents. The industry needed answers urgently and when I heard of the concept of a segmented arc held by cables, very strong, flexible but unable to collapse, I immediately saw it as a possible solution. “A Passive Roll Bar”. A bar that would support an overturned Quad providing crush protection but a lot less likely to cause injury if coming in contact with the rider. This roll bar would also contradict and negate the arguments from the Motorcycle Manufacturers. This is where the “Lifeguard®” started and development, prototypes and testing began in August 2011.

Persons present were ‘Farm Health & Safety experts’ from Australia, New Zealand, and U.S.A. CONCLUSION:- The science underpinning the manufactures decision to oppose Crush Protection Devices (CPDs) has been demonstrated to be invalid.
