I have owned in the past 4 trikes, never rolled one of them. Seen lots of idiots roll em tho. Ayap, you hit a corner at full throttle and over you go (regardless of 3 or 4 wheels). You have to be smart(er) when riding a trike. Trikes have alot of advantages over the quads (the big one is, they FLOAT)

I`ve never had any troubles with a 3 wheeler once I started leaning over the handle bars in a tight turn and letting the rear slide around to make the corner. Before learning that the rear end did want to come up on a too fast /tight corner.
I did once come across a grandfather that broke his wrist when he had the trike out with his grand kids. That did worry the crap out of me for a while.....

I used to drive our neighbours trieks all teh time, they were pretty fun. I wouldnt personally get one though. With all the 4x4 quads out there now a days, I just figure thats the way to go.
As for cleaning the quad after geting it muddy, that is half of the fun!
