This year, as in the past 4 years, snowmobiles have earned the dubious honor of being the most dangerous winter sport. Ten tips for safety and fun on your snowmobile. The increasing awareness and education on safety of snowmobile snowmobile club, and governments have shown greater respect for driving safety, the extensive use of hand signals and seal snowmobile world. As an advocate of "safety first" when it comes to motor vehicles, especially snowmobiles, respect of this activity is essential for the enjoyment of snowmobiling in winter. Experience as a snowmobile rider has made me even more security guards. Here are 10 safety tips for snowmobiles, which will put the fun in your next round: 1) wear a helmet. Ever. Even if you are just making a quick trip for 2 minutes to get the supplies from your vehicle. Without exception accepted. 2) emergency stop. The most important feature of the snowmobile is the off button next to the emergency control valve. Make sure the pilot knows where he is. Pressing the OFF button turns off the engine shutdown immediate emergency. 3) No alcohol. You need to be at their peak of attention and vigilance. Both the thrill of the race, and exercising sled ( 'slide-Cise') to sweat and become dehydrated. Fetch water or other non-alcoholic beverages to take with you on the trails. Save alcohol when you leave for the day (no more than operating any type) and want to sit down and talk over the day. 4) Check your mirrors. How to drive a car, look ahead and check every 15-45 seconds. I believe that a mirror must have for snowmobiles. Looking for more aggressive drivers who speed behind you. Let them go - pull over, stop, stop - let them pass. 5) Do not overwrite the lights, or level of comfort. Ride your sled to your comfort level and ability. There will always be other drivers who speed in front of you. What we find is that you can reach them at the next junction, juncture, or staging. Remember: "It's like your own pace, not your race sled. 6) Use the buddy system. Looking for other riders in your group. His group is effective Sleddin team: the group of "lead-dog" and "final sled" must ensure that together account for and secure. 7) Do not pull the foot down. Keep your feet and legs secure. Never use your feet or legs to cope with a rollover of the sled. Put your foot down, or leg to stop a bit, it's a good way to get around the ankle, or leg or have retired from taking full snowmobiling. Painful! 8) Do not place objects between you and the gas. Not a single person or a thing (sleeping bag, shopping bag). Nothing. The persons or things between you and the gas can occur in situations where the gas is locked tight and the snowmobile accelerates quickly (not controlled) onwards. 9) Sit in the car reverse. Do not stand. I remember that the laws of physics and inertia - if the upward movement will cause your body permanently unstable to skip forward, disturbances that might of his body against the accelerator. 10) Stop often. Enjoy the scenery, nature and wildlife. Ride for segments of 30-60 minutes with 5 minutes break. Ride with sledders that as to stop and "smell the flowers" - not just "hanging over the mile. Sleddin 'allows access to sites, monuments, landscapes and deals only in winter when the water freezes and owners to allow access to their property. Stay on trails. Please follow the instructions. For each trip you take snowmobile "It's about smiles, not the number of miles."
