The inquest is also where the McLeods learned they weren't alone in their grief after losing a loved one in an off-road vehicle crash. The Canadian Quad Council participated in the Horatio McLeod inquest and supports most of the recommendations. In Ontario, children under 12 can operate an off-road vehicle if they're closely supervised by an adult or on land occupied by the machine's owner, the regulations say. Both youths and adults would have to complete it to receive an off-road vehicle permit, licence or certificate of competency. Fuselli, with injury prevention organization Parachute, said there isn't much evidence about whether ATV training reduces the possibility of a crash, and if so, what kind of training is best.
