PREVENTION

OVER OVER OVER OVER OVERVIEW VIEW VIEW VIEW VIEW
When riding an ATV, PREVENTION is the name of the game.
"Had you only known" something could go wrong, you would
have prevented it. If you do not take notice of the current ter-
rain and its specific conditions before riding your ATV, you in-
crease the risk of losing control over the situation. Using ATV
prevention techniques will help you forecast potential hazards
before they injure you or damage your ATV.
Following the safety instructions and warnings in this manual
will help you "P.A.S.S." the safety test. P.A.S.S. stands for "Pre-
vention," "Active Riding," "Sound Judgment," and "Supervision."
Remembering P.A.S.S. and what it stands for will help you have
a safe, enjoyable ride every time you go out to enjoy your ATV.

Always wear clothing suited to the type of riding you will be
doing. ATV riding requires special protective clothing which will
make you feel more comfortable and reduce the possibility of
injury. It is important to dress correctly for ATV riding in order to
prevent scraped skin and serous head injuries. Practicing
proper prevention in advance is simple and may prevent the
inconvenience of having to attend to injuries. It is also impor-
tant to take into account specific climate and weather condi-
tions where you will be riding. Wear a liner under your helmet
and layers of clothing during cooler weather and lighter, pro-
tective clothing when it is warmer. The following sections re-
view the minimum protective gear you need to wear during
every ride.
