According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 92 percent of all ATV-related fatalities are the result of warned-against behaviors, such as youth riding on adult-sized ATVs. ATV Safety Week will focus on educating the public about these warned-against behaviors and will make it easy to find and receive hands-on RiderCourse training where riders will learn about the proper operation of their machines. Additionally, they will learn about helmets and other protective gear, and ways to dramatically reduce risk. The ATV RiderCourse also gives riders the opportunity to learn how to safely get the most out of their machines on a closed-course range, with the help of a licensed ASI Instructor. The RiderCourse is free for anyone who signs up during ATV Safety Week. The RiderCourse is also free year-round for anyone who has purchased a new, qualifying ATV from an ASI member company. The ASI offers easy enrollment at atvsafety.org, or 800-887-2887. ASI also offers a free E-Course, available online 24/7. This online course is available in three age-specific courses for adults, teens and children. Students in each course will learn how to apply the "golden rules" of ATV riding in an interactive setting. The course includes videos, pictures, and interactive games to make it a fun and effective learning experience for all ages. After taking the course, users can take an ATV safety exam and receive a certificate of completion. The All-Terrain Vehicle Safety Institute (ASI), a not-for-profit division of the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA), was formed in 1988 to implement an expanded national program of all-terrain vehicle (ATV) safety education and awareness. The ASI is sponsored by Arctic Cat, BRP, Honda, Kawasaki, KYMCO USA, Polaris, Suzuki, and Yamaha. Click here for full story...
