Your Physical Condition
Being physically exhausted is like being drunk. Try to do something
that’s detail-oriented when you’re really tired, and you’ll feel totally
uncoordinated.
Reckless Riding
If you are involved in an ATV accident when you’re speeding, you
have a 25% chance of landing yourself in the hospital. The faster you
go, the more likely you are to destroy your head and internal organs,
and skip the wheelies, jumps, stunts, and any other showboating.
Laws and Regulations
Any police offi cer will tell you that ignorance of the law is no defense.
Your best defense is to check out your local, state, or provincial ATV
laws before riding. It’ll also make sure that you can continue to ride in
your favourite areas. The quickest way to have a land area closed is
by riding over the regulations.
Group Behaviour
People always do crazier and riskier things in a group than they would
consider doing by themselves. When you’re ATV riding with others
and things start to get out of hand, decide whether you’re willing to be
injured or see your friends injured.
SIPDE
By themselves, none of these safe behaviours and sound judgments
will go very far. But when you put them all together... when you’re pa-
ying attention to how you feel, when you’re monitoring the movements
of your ATV, and when you’re constantly evaluating your environment,
then you’re practicing SIPDE. SIPDE is an acronym that stands for:
S I P D E
Scan/Search Identify

Predict what
