Protective Structure; Seat Belts - Yamaha YXR70FX Owner's Manual

Protective structure

The vehicle cage/frame provides a protective
structure that helps limit intrusions by branch-
es or other objects and may reduce your risk
of injury in accidents. The protective structure
will not protect occupants in all rollovers or ac-
cidents.
Body parts outside of vehicle can be struck by
passing objects or crushed during vehicle roll-
over. Do not put your hands or feet outside of
the vehicle for any reason. Do not hold onto
the door, cage/frame or hip restraint bar.
Wear your seat belt and helmet.
If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or
roll, do not put your hands or feet outside the
vehicle for any reason. You will not be able to
stop the vehicle from tipping over using your
body. Any part of your body (arms, legs, or
head) outside of the vehicle can be crushed
by the vehicle cage/frame.

senger is belted before driving.
