Avoid Getting Hurt in a Quad Accident

Riding quads can be very fun, but dangerous. Here are some steps you can take to avoid serious injury.

Steps

  1. Always wear safety gear. This includes helmets, kidney braces, chest protectors, boots, and gloves.
  2. If you roll your quad on a dune, roll away from the quad. Remember, the quad is going to roll straight down, so roll to the side.
  3. If your quad stalls on a hill, get off the quad and either let it fall or find a way to get it off of the hill.
  4. If you are about to crash into something, you may be better off getting off the quad at a safe distance. Bend your knees and roll to soften the impact.
  5. Always look around you to make sure there are not other riders or objects in your surrounding areas.

Tips

  • Be a conscientious rider and ask that anyone else you ride with does so safely. *Ride no faster than is safe.
  • Do all you can to avoid having an accident in the first place, but always wear safety gear, anyway.
  • Don't ride in areas above your experience level.
  • Don't ride in areas that are unsafe.
