The vast majority of riders haven't been taught how to operate any sort of powersport machine safely. You just pay someone some money, grab the keys, and head off into the wilderness, headstrong and cock-sure. Or is it the other way around?
That unfortunate reality makes it all but certain for folks to go past their limits and get into dangerous situations. It's why if you just search Google for motorcycle, UTV, ATV, jet ski, or snowmobile, you'll be inundated with countless articles about people injuring themselves, their families, or others because they went over their limits. It's why we reported on someone who literally crashed a snowmobile into a parked Army helicopter.
