How can riders minimize the risk of overturning on steep hills?

Minimizing the risk of overturning on steep hills involves maintaining stability and control over the ATV. Keeping a low center of gravity is critical because it helps to enhance stability. When a rider adopts proper posture—such as sitting up straight with knees bent and weight distributed evenly—they can help ensure that the ATV remains balanced, especially when navigating inclines.

A low center of gravity reduces the likelihood of the vehicle tipping over, which is a common danger when riding on steep terrain. Proper posture not only aids in maintaining this stability but also enhances the rider's ability to react swiftly to changes in terrain or direction. Together, these practices promote safer riding by maximizing control and balance on challenging hills, ultimately reducing the chance of an accident or overturning.
