Sound Judgment
Group Behavior
People occasionally do crazier and riskier
things in a group than they would con-
sider doing by themselves. When you’re
riding with others and things start to get
out of hand, decide whether you’re will-
ing to be injured or see your friends
injured.
SIPDE
By themselves, none of these safe behav-
iors and sound judgments will go very
far. But when you put them all together . .
. when you’re paying attention to how
you feel, when you’re monitoring the
movements of your ATV, and when
you’re constantly evaluating your envi-
ronment, then you’re practicing SIPDE.
SIPDE is an acronym that stands for:
SIPDE
SCAN/ SEARCH
IDENTIFY
HAZARDS
PREDICT WHAT
WILL HAPPEN
DECIDE WHAT
TO DO
