"Off-road vehicles aren’t toys. Their use requires knowledge and common sense to operate safely.
As a 4 wheeler you are dependent upon the performance and equipment of your vehicle to get you back to camp safely.
Safety also needs to be practiced outside of the vehicle as well. Always be aware of your surroundings, especially during stuck-vehicle recovery procedures!
Wheelin isn’t necessarily any more dangerous than numerous other sports that people engage in, but it does require you to treat it with respect.
