Safety Rules

• Always wear a helmet! It will protect you from serious injury in the event of a crash. Also, wear protective glasses or goggles, gloves and appropriate footwear.



• Know how to properly operate equipment! Read and follow all manufactures' guidelines. Take a snowmobile or ATV operator's course if available.

• Never overload equipment! In most cases, ATVs and snowmobiles should be limited to one person. Additional gear should be limited and loads balanced.



• Watch your speed! Too many accidents occur because of speed or recklessness. Maintain a slow to moderate speed and exercise caution while turning.



• Use the buddy system! Travel in groups and make sure nobody is left behind. Look over your shoulder often to check on your partners.



• Think safe and be prepared! Be certain conditions are safe before traveling on ice. Always carry a first-aid kit and basic repair tools and parts. Firearms should be unloaded, with actions closed, and in a case.
