What is a recommended safety precaution when approaching a corner on a trail?

Slowing down and being prepared for potential obstacles when approaching a corner on a trail is critical for safety. Corners can often conceal unexpected hazards, such as other riders, wildlife, or debris, that may be difficult to see until you are very close. By reducing your speed, you give yourself more time to react to any obstacles that might appear suddenly.

Additionally, slowing down allows for better control of the ATV during the turn, helping you navigate safely without losing balance or traction. It's also important to remember that corners may have loose surfaces or changes in terrain that can affect handling; taking the approach at a moderate speed ensures you can adjust your trajectory if necessary and maintain your safety and that of others on the trail.
