🏍️ ATV-related injuries happen every year—and many are preventable. A few simple decisions can make a big difference.

🪖 Wear a properly fitted helmet and protective gear.
👥 Follow passenger limits.
🚫 Never ride under the influence.
🌲 Stay on authorized trails and adjust your speed for the conditions.

ATVs can be a great way to enjoy the outdoors, but they also come with serious risks if they're not operated safely.
