AVOID ACCIDENTS

and nets provide some protection, but
will not prevent serious injury or death
if the vehicle is crushed or the impact
is severe.

Zones with heavy traffic or high speed
traffic should be avoided to reduce the
risk of collisions. You should never op-
erate in zones where you become an
obstacle and an annoyance for faster
moving traffic.

It is also recommended to wear an ap-
proved helmet in addition to fastening
the seat belts and side nets to increase
protection.
