Owning a few ATVs can lead to hours of recreational fun while you explore the backcountry with your family and friends. However, nearly everyone who lives near the wilderness has heard of a least one person in their circle of acquaintances who has been seriously injured due while riding an ATV. Sadly, nearly all of these accidents could have easily been prevented if the driver was following same very basic safety precautions while riding their vehicle. Here are a few of the most important safety tips to bear in mind when you and your loved ones are riding your favorite trails on a fleet of ATVs.
No matter whether you are a seasoned rider or are just getting into riding ATVs recreational purposes, it is crucial that you always remember that ATVs are not meant to be used as a vehicle for extreme sports. This may sound obvious, but the fact of the matter is that there is an inevitable adrenaline rush when your are riding an ATV with with wind whipping by in the backcountry. For riders who are adrenaline junkies, it can be tempting to start chasing that rush by driving at higher speeds and hugging curves in the trail as tightly as possible. This is a recipe for disaster when it comes to riding an ATV. If you or members of your party crave an adrenaline rush during your outings, it is essential that you find more responsible ways to get your kicks during your excursions into the wild.
While riders of all ages need to remember that an ATV is not a toy, it is particularly important that adolescents have proper respect for these vehicles. In most areas of the country where recreational ATV driving is common, young men and women are often allowed to operate an ATV before they drive a regular automobile. As a result, it is the responsibility of parents and other adults to teach young ATV drivers that there is a huge difference between the danger posed by driving an ATV and riding a bike. In regions where hunting is common, the best way to teach young ATV drivers how to respect their vehicle is to compare it to a loaded rifle. When used safely, both ATVs and rifles can be very rewarding tools in the outdoors. When used without respect, they can lead to tragedy.
