Sound Judgment
SIPDE
By themselves, none of these safe behaviors 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 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
DECISION
