LEARNING TO OPERATE YOUR VEHI-
CLE
Personal protective equipment
The driver and passenger should wear the fol-
lowing to reduce risk of injury in an accident:
Approved motorcycle helmet that fits prop-
erly
Eye protection (goggles, helmet face shield,
or protective eyewear)
Over-the-ankle boots, gloves, long-sleeved
shirt or jacket, and long pants
An approved helmet and other personal pro-
tective equipment can help in a variety of
ways, including:
Reduce the severity of injuries if any part of
you is outside the vehicle cage/frame pro-
tective structure during a rollover.
Help protect you if outside objects intrude
inside the vehicle during operation.
Help protect you in the event of vehicle im-
pact with an obstacle.
Wear eye protection when operating or riding
in the vehicle to reduce the risk of a serious
accident or injury. Eye protection, such as a
face shield or goggles, may reduce the risk of
foreign material getting in your eyes and help
prevent loss of vision.
