All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) can cause serious injury or death. ATV injuries can be reduced by following these safety practices:
No child/youth under 16 years of age should operate an adult ATV. Ensure your child/youth only rides an ATV that is appropriate for their age, weight, and maturity. Follow manufacturers' recommendations.
Wear an approved helmet with face and eye protection.
Drive Sober - Alcohol, drugs and ATVs don't mix.
Refuse to carry or be a passenger on an ATV built for one person.
Take an ATV operator training course.
For these and more in-depth ATV safety tips, see:
Common Messages for ATV Safety - A guide for injury prevention stakeholders
and
ATV informational pamphlet
