RCMP Pelican Narrows – snowmobile safety tips

In the midst of the snowmobile season, Pelican Narrows RCMP would like to offer a friendly reminder to snowmobile operators so they can enjoy the outdoors and make it home safely to their families.

Below are some tips to ensure the safe operation of recreational equipment:

  1. Drivers and passengers must ALWAYS wear safety gear that is properly fitted and weather appropriate
  2. Ensure your snowmobile is well maintained and in good operating condition – check lights, brakes and fluid levels
  3. Check weather conditions and tell someone where you are going and when to expect you back
  4. Make sure your snowmobile is equipped with an emergency kit and first aid supplies
  5. Ride to YOUR comfort and ability – never race or try to keep up with a more experienced rider
  6. Parents, make sure your children are old enough and trained to operate the snowmobile they are riding. Children should ALWAYS be supervised
  7. Ride with a buddy, and remember – only one passenger at a time
  8. NEVER ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs

Stay safe!
