Sipde - Arctic Cat 2013 400 TRV Operator's Manual

Sound Judgment
Your Physical Condition
Being physically exhausted is like being
drunk. Try to do something that's detail-
oriented when you're really tired, and
you'll feel totally uncoordinated.
Don't ride:
1. When you're tired
Reckless Riding
If you are involved in an accident when
you're speeding, you have a 25% chance
of landing yourself in the hospital. The
faster you go, the more likely you are to
destroy your head and internal organs,
and skip the wheelies, jumps, stunts, and
any other showboating.
Laws and Regulations
Any police officer will tell you ignorance
of the law is no defense. Your best
defense is to check out your local, state,
or provincial laws before riding. It'll also
make sure you can continue to ride in
your favorite areas. The quickest way to
have a land area closed is by riding over
the regulations.

Group Behavior
People occasionally do crazier and riskier
things in a group than they would con-
sider doing by themselves. When you're
riding with others and things start to get
out of hand, decide whether you're will-
ing to be injured or see your friends
injured.

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 move-
ments of your ATV, and when you're
constantly evaluating your environment,
then you're practicing SIPDE. SIPDE is
an acronym that stands for:
P D
PREDICT WHAT DECIDE WHAT
WILL HAPPEN TO DO
E
EXECUTE THE
DECISION
