Ensuring you are safe when riding a quad bike starts by checking it is safe to ride in the first place. Some of the obvious checks would be to test for the basics like effective brakes and positive steering. You may not think about checking the oil level, coolant, or fuel, but running out of any of these miles from home could have serious consequences. Simple things like knowing the correct tyre pressures also make a lot of difference to traction and stability which can help prevent roll-overs. These are common and can result in serious or fatal injuries. If you do roll-over or fall off, do you have the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent serious injury? Learn the essentials of quad bike safety checks – and get home safely.
