UTV Safety Tips

Stoneham’s Motorsports in Waynesboro and Everett, PA, does our best to ensure that our customers are informed about their purchases and protected while riding. Here are a few ways you can stay safe on all your future UTV adventures!

Gear

Whether traveling alone or with your loved ones, it’s important that all passengers have the appropriate gear to keep them safe. Items like protective goggles, helmets, long pants, etc. will reduce your risks of injury so you can remain focused on the excitement!

Remain on Designated Trails

This is a major guideline you’ll want to adhere to in order to avoid serious injury. UTVs aren’t authorized for public streets and roads in most areas and would also be unable to withstand collisions with larger vehicles. It’s best to follow trail signs and markers to avoid roaming into unauthorized and unsafe territory.

Keep Arms Inside

As exciting as your ride may be, it’s crucial that everyone keeps their arms inside the vehicle at all times. UTVs are likely to toss up rocks and other projectiles when accelerating which could cause injury if you or a passenger are struck by flying debris. There are also numerous objects and hazards on the trail so as a rule of thumb, keep all limbs inside to remain protected.
