ATV Safety
Everyone wants to have the most possible fun on an ATV. ATV's provide a great deal of fun, but, when operated improperly, can be dangerous. Accidents on ATV's can ruin your experience, and leave a rider hurt. I have witnessed accidents, and I can say almost all of ATV accidents could have been avoided if people had followed some basic rules and used common sense. ATV's can roll over or flip over if operated improperly. The following list of safety principles should help get you started.

ALWAYS wear a HELMET, and other proper saftey equipment (see below)!!!!!!!!
