Supervision
Overview
You’re responsible for supervising those who ride your ATV. Your wis-
dom is valuable... it’ll bring them all back safely - your friends, your
family, your relatives, and your ATV. It’s crucial that you consider your-
self a supervisor for all riders of your ATV. Whether you accept respon-
sibility 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, and have them read the Operator’s Manual.
You train them. It doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as you do it.
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 expe-
rienced riders get familiar with your ATV - show them the basics before
they take off. You don’t want it on your conscience that someone 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 12 operate your ATV
.
Arctic Cat and the ATV Safety Institute recommend that all ATV opera-
tors ride the appropriate-sized ATV according to age.
