Recreational Safety takes Responsibility & Control

I have no idea how many of our club members may own or use an ATV or other type of off-road vehicle.  However, please be aware of potential accidents and injuries involved with the use of ATVs. Texas and California have the highest number of ATV-related deaths.

The number of reported ATV-related deaths in Nevada from 1982 through 2015 was 116.

Follow and share these rules of the trail to make safety a part of the plan for every ride and help reduce ATV-related deaths and injuries where you live:

• Do not drive ATVs on paved roads.
• Do not allow a child under 16 to drive or ride an adult ATV.
• Do not drive ATVs with a passenger or ride as a passenger.
• Always wear a helmet and other protective gear such as eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt.
• Take a hands-on safety training course.

If you already own or purchase an ATV or other off-road vehicle, please check the internet for on-line

safety classes.
