If you ride a motorcycle or ATV always wear a helmet, eye protection, and gloves at a minimum. Long sleeve shirt, long pants and boots are also strongly recommended. Most ATVs have big long seats. So big that it looks like two kids can share one easily, but that's not true. In fact, more kids get hurt sharing an ATV than for any other factor in ATV-related injuries.
Parents are responsible for their childrens' safety.
Make sure your kids ride with only approved safety equipment. The course also covers protective gear, local laws, finding places to ride, and environmental concerns. If you bought your ATV after 1986, you may be eligible for free training. Those not eligible for the free training may take the course for a small fee. The ATV RiderCourse is available nationwide.
