Sound Judgment
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 move-
ments of your ATV, and when you’re
constantly evaluating your environment,
then you’re practicing SIPDE. SIPDE is
an acronym that stands for:
SI PDE
SCAN/SEARCH
IDENTIFY
HAZARDS
PREDICT WHAT
WILL HAPPEN
DECIDE WHAT
TO DO
EXECUTE THE
