ATV Safety Action Plan

The consumer Product Safety Commission has concluded that ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES (ATVs) may present a risk of DEATH or SEVERE INJURY in certain circumstances. Accidents may occur for many reasons.

• Over 4,799 people, including many children have died in accidents associated with ATVs since 2003.
• Many people have become severely paralyzed or suffered severe internal injuries as a result of accidents associated with ATVs.
• Every month thousands of people are treated in hospitals emergency rooms for injuries received while riding an ATV.

You should be aware that AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE. An ATV handles differently from other vehicles, including motorcycles and cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during routine maneuvers such as training and driving on hills and over obstacles, if you fail to take proper precautions.

• ALWAYS READ THE OWNERS MANUAL CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THE OPERATING PROCEDURES DESCRIBED. PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ALL LABELS ON ATVs.
