SAFETY INFORMATION
Safaris are both fun and enjoyable but don’t show off or overtake
others in the group. A less experienced operator might try to do
the same as you and fail. When riding with others, limit your abil-
ities to the experience of others.
Always cover your snowmobile when leaving it overnight or during
extended periods of inactivity. This will protect it from freezing as
well as retain its appearance.
The guidelines that we support are not designed to limit your
snowmobiling fun, but to preserve the beautiful freedom that you
can experience only on a snowmobile! These guidelines will keep
snowmobilers healthy, happy and able to introduce others to what
they know and enjoy about their favorite winter pastime. So, the
next time you hit the trails on a cool, crisp and clear winter day,
we ask you to remember that you are paving the way for the future
of our sport. Help us lead it down the right path! From all of us at
BRP, thank you for doing your share.
PASSENGER SAFETY BASICS
Never ride as a passenger unless the snowmobile is equipped with
a passenger seat, and sit only on the designated passenger seat.
Always wear a DOT approved helmet and follow the same dress-
ing guidelines as those recommended for the operator and de-
scribed above.
Make sure that you are able to achieve a stable seating position
with both feet resting positively with a good grip on the footboards
or footrests, and that you are able to hold on firmly to the hand-
holds.
Once underway, if you feel uncomfortable or unsecure for any rea-
son, don‘t wait, tell the driver to slow down or stop.
ENVIRONMENT
There is nothing more exhilarating than snowmobiling. Venturing
onto snowmobile trails that criss-cross the wild areas of the U.S. and
Canada is an exciting and healthy winter sport. However, as the num-
ber of people using these recreational parks increases, so does the
potential for damage to the environment. Abuse of land, facilities and
resources inevitably leads to restrictions and closures of both private
and public land.
