ATV - All Terrain Vehicles

Five General Tips For ATV Safety Riding all terrain vehicles can be an enjoyable hobby for riders, young and old. This exciting pastime can be dangerous, however, if safety is not your first concern. Accidents can happen, that could result in serious injuries or even death. To protect yourself when riding an ATV, here are a few safety tips to keep in mind.

  • Always wear a helmet. - If you are involved in a crash or rollover, a helmet is something your only protection.
  • Never carry extra passengers. - ATVs are built to carry a specific number of people. Taking an extra rider on an ATV can be dangerous for everyone.
  • Know the terrain. - Be sure to know the layout of the area you will be riding in. Check for holes, rocks, fallen branches, and other things that could pose an accident or rollover threat.
  • Be sure to ride with a friend. - Make sure that you always have someone with you and that one of you is carrying a cell phone, in case of a crash or accident.
  • Make sure your ATV is the proper size for you. - Riding an ATV that is too big or too small increases the risk of losing control and receiving a serious injury.
Even if you follow safety regulations perfectly, sometimes a defect in an ATV can still cause an accident. If you have received ATV injuries that were the fault of the manufacturer, contact the lawyers at our office.
