Never allow Off Road Vehicles to be ridden beyond the rider's level of skill. Remember skill can be improved by training. Off Road Vehicles are not toys and ATVs and Utility vehicles have very different handling characteristics in comparison to Motorcycles. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during routine manoeuvres such as turning and driving on hills and over obstacles, if you fail to take proper precautions.
