Additional safety tips to further protect yourself when riding on a UTV:

  • Motorcycle helmet: Head injuries can be very serious and lead to long-term permanent damage. Motorcycle helmets can help prevent and reduce the risk of these injuries.
  • Eye protection: All passengers are at risk of airborne debris on the road — whether it is a random object (bug, bird, baseball, etc), or pebbles kicked up from the vehicle in front of yours. Airborne objects can hit your eyes and cause damage and distractions.
  • Gloves: Good quality off-road / motorcycle gloves give you better traction when controlling the steering wheel. They also provide extra protection against cuts and scratches.
  • Boots: Similar to gloves, boots provide extra protection against cuts and scratches.
  • LED Headlights: Lights help keep others aware of your vehicle, and they help you see better.
  • Flags: Adding tall flags is a cheap way to help increase your visibility.
