A CATTLE farmer who crashed his ATV and walked away unscathed has described crush protection as his “insurance policy”.

Scott McKay rolled his ATV while travelling along a bitumen road at just 20km/h and said his lucky escape was due to a roll bar fitted to his ATV.

He swerved to miss a car and the ATV tipped.

“I am not sure that the ATV would have rolled right over without the crush protection, but I did walk away without a scratch on me,” Mr McKay said of the accident about six months ago.
