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 supervisor 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 und-
eraged 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 experienced 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
operators ride the appropriate-sized ATV according to age.
