ATV SAFETY: KNOW THE RULES, STAY SAFE!
ATV safety can be enhanced by following these simple guidelines.
WATCH OUT FOR HAZARDS!
When you're on an ATV trail, it's important to stay away from steep slopes, jagged terrain and swamps. These areas can be risky and cause you to fall off your vehicle or injure yourself.
BE PREPARED WITH THE RIGHT GEAR.
We are committed to your safety at JWT Powersports. We want you to enjoy yourself, but always remember to wear a helmet when you ride. It’s surprising how many head injuries take place each year, which is why helmets are so important for shredding the trails. Gloves, goggles, and boots can help protect you from more serious injuries if you ride on more difficult terrain.
RIDING WITH A BUDDY CAN BE FUN.
The buddy system is a great way to ensure your safety in any emergency. From mechanical problems to getting lost or sustaining serious injury, having a partner nearby will keep you from being alone at your most vulnerable. Plus, it's more fun to travel with friends!
MAP OUT YOUR ROUTE
When you’re looking ahead and planning your route, you can avoid hazards that could slow you down. Advanced riders adjust their speed to suit the trail conditions. Looking ahead will help you to balance on rough spots and regulate your speed.
BE SURE TO STAY ON THE TRAIL.
Please stay within the designated riding areas. Our unguided ATV trails are meant to offer the ideal terrain for adrenalizing your life. It is also done to keep you safe. Going off trail can lead riders to a number of problems, including unpassable terrain. Riders may find themselves driving into bodies of water, jagged rocks, steep drop-offs, and more. Going off of the trail is also destructive to the delicate nature surrounding you. Chewing up the hillside may sound fun, but it can leave an unsightly mark that can prove unproductive for ATV riders and our image to society. Keeping safe will allow you to make the most of your ATV rental in Eastern Washington.'
