Wıll theır travel insurance cover them or ıs thıs classed as a dangerous sport.

Travel Insurance will not cover them.  I doubt that extreme sports insurance would even cover them, as they may not have been wearing proper helmets.

If Turkey is the same as the UK in regards to wearing helmets on a quad bike there is no requirement to wear a helmet

The point isn't about vehicle insurance rules, it's about holiday insurance rules. The fact is everyday holiday insurance generally excludes accidents caused during quad biking as a dangerous sport/pastime. They will rarely pay out anything at all - in fact almost never.

Extreme Sports Insurance is required for Quad Biking, Paragliding, Horse Riding, Jeep Safari etc.,when on holiday, so you have to take this insurance out as an extra with you normal Travel Insurance.   These sports are classed as dangerous so, the normal travel insurance will not cover them.  Even if Extreme Sports Insurance is taken out there is lots of small print and we all know that Insurance Companies often do not pay out because of the small print.
