Sound Judgment
SIPDE
By themselves, none of these safe behav-
iors and sound judgments will go very
far. But when you put them all together . .
. when you're paying attention to how
you feel, when you're monitoring the
movements of your ATV, and when
you're constantly evaluating your envi-
ronment, then you're practicing SIPDE.
