ATVs can be safe when used correctly. But, like all motorized vehicles, they come with a certain degree of risk.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission strongly encourages everyone who plans to ride ATVs to be fully aware of the potential dangers and to take the required precautions before operating these off-road vehicles.
The most common risks associated with ATV riding include collisions, rollovers, falling off the vehicle, and getting caught in a terrain hazard like mud or sand.
Furthermore, if not operated properly, an ATV can cause fires or kick up debris that could injure people on the ground.
When riders are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and adherence to legal guidelines, ATVs can be a fun and safe way to explore the Nevada landscape.
