Spring: Every year, there are over 150,00 ATV and 4-Wheeler accidents in America. Know the Golden Rules of ATV safety. Be sure to wear a helmet while riding ATVs. Goggles and protective clothing are a plus for keeping riders safe. Always ride an ATV that’s right for your age – they come in all sizes!
