WATCH OUT FOR TERRAIN CHANGES
Watch out for terrain changes or hidden hazards that
can cause you to lose control of the vehicle or collide with
unseen obstacles (e.g., gopher holes, logs, gullies, or
ditches). Always use caution in an unfamiliar area.
For example, never ride through an area where the view
of the ground surface is not clear (e.g., high-standing
grass, fallen branches, holes, large obstacles or other
hazards); you could collide with a hidden hazard and be
seriously injured or even killed.
