The thrill of ATV riding has grown in popularity in recent years and some are now even making it a sporting event the whole family can participate in (depending on the age of the children). This is all well and good but of course you must make sure to take care to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
While ATV riding is fun, with it comes responsibility as well as the skill of being able to safely handle an ATV vehicle. It requires the rider to be strong, skilled and have a mature attitude. This is why in some states children younger than 16 are not allowed to drive an ATV. It also requires passengers who may be riding in the back to be older than 6 years old as well because if you are going over bumpy terrain they need to be able to hold on tight.
Avoiding Injuries
It come as no surprise that most injuries serious injuries incurred while riding an ATV are head injuries. Serious or sometimes even fatal head injuries can happen if an ATV crashes or turns over while in motion. You must also keep in mind that children can be hurt or killed when being towed by an ATV while riding a sled, tire, tube or anything else. This is why it's always important to require your children to wear helmets.
ATV Outing Preparations
You must also take precautions while preparing for your outdoor ATV adventure. For example you need to be careful when adding fuel to the ATV. You don't want anyone to get burned. You also need to exercise caution and use proper lifting techniques when loading or unloading the ATV. Be sure to check the weather forecast as well, as you don't want to be stuck outdoors in a bad storm. Make sure you are aware just how rough the terrain may be that you'll be riding on. If you are ATVing in the winter time, never take the ATV out on ice as you have no way of knowing just how much weight the ice can hold.
