Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Supervision
Overview
You’re responsible for supervising those who ride your ATV. Your wisdom
is valuable... it’ll bring them all back safely—your friends, your family,
your relatives, and your ATV. It’s crucial that you consider yourself a super-
visor for all riders of your ATV. Whether you accept responsibility or not,
the truth is that you are responsible for others riding your ATV.
You’re to the last letter in “PASS”... “Supervision.” You’ve just gone
through the manual, and you’ve seen what’s involved. That puts you in a
good position to be confident about what you know. So now it’s time to use
your knowledge and supervise others who ride your ATV.
Inexperienced/Untrained Riders
You can’t let people ride your ATV who don’t know what they’re doing.
Unless they’ve had over a year of experience with ATV riding or taken
an ATV training course, it’s your responsibility to keep them off your
ATV. It can be dangerous (especially for underaged children) — all the
more reason for you to be firm.
Experienced/Trained Riders
If anyone is going to borrow your ATV, you are responsible for their
supervision. Before they ride, have them take the training course, have
them watch the safety video, have them read the Operator’s Manual, and
train them.
ATV’s are all a little different from the handling to the stability to the
controls. So regardless of how much experience your family members
have with ATV’s, they don’t have experience with
your
ATV. Let
experienced riders get familiar with your ATV—show them the basics
before they take off. You don’t want it on your conscience that some-
one got hurt because you didn’t tell them how to use your ATV.
Remember that regardless of experience, you should never let
anyone under the age of 16 operate your ATV.
Arctic Cat and the ATV Safety Institute recommend that all ATV oper-
ators ride the appropriate-sized ATV according to age.
