ATV Evac Task

Background:

Occassionally subjects have been evacuated using ATV's (quads, trail bikes, snowmobiles). Under what circumstances is that appropriate? What are the alternatives? Should the subjects always be provided with a helmet? Can it be appropriate to carry a subject as a passenger on an ATV that is not rated or not insured for passengers?

Tasks:

 * Recommend SOP's for the use of ATV's in evacuation.
 * Recommend equipment that should be provided when ATV's are used for evacuation.
 * Recommend training for the use of ATV's in evacuation.
