11 SAFETY Operator Safety Riding Position Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control. Rider positions may vary from person to person as each becomes more skilled; but under most conditions, the proper position is to be seated with feet on the running boards, and comfortably positioned for proper throttle, brake, and steering control. Survival Preparation For your safety, always ride in a group of other snowmobilers. Always tell someone where you’re going and how long you expect to be gone. If it isn’t possible to ride with others, and you must travel into remote areas, always carry survival equipment that’s appropriate to the conditions you may encounter. Such equipment may include, but is not limited to: extra clothing, a sleeping bag, a flashlight, food and water, a signaling mirror, a means of building a fire, and a two-way radio or cellular telephone. Improper riding position may seriously reduce your ability to control the machine and may result in serious injury or death. Always be properly seated and in position to control your vehicle.
