Christopher McNeil, Owner of McNeil Training Simulators, presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit Oct. 12, 2012. McNeil Simulators (ohvsimulators.com): ATV Safety Awareness Simulator Abstract: The ATV Simulator course is intended to be taught at area schools. Used as a tool to promote State’s OHV rules and regulations, active riding techniques, and participation in a required or not safety rider course in a statewide outreach. Students are guided through lessons in a predictable and well sequenced manner. Five major topics are stressed: 1. Safety Gear. 2. Proper fitting guidelines. 3. Center of gravity showing physics of the machine. 4. Machine's capabilities and operator's abilities. 5. Speed vs. Control. The Simulator is a mechanical devise that hydraulically simulates angular movements of an ATV traveling uphill, downhill, side hills, cornering, or a combination of movements. Combined with a series of lessons from start to finish different active riding techniques are achieved. The student actively takes the opportunity to feel the movement- angular forces, and learns proper safe riding skills per instruction eye to eye and some video if preferred. Therefore, instruction can be corrected and positively reinforced if needed. Along with riding skills; pre-riding safety (proper safety gear, weight vs. machine size, center of gravity instruction, hazards of riding double, other) is emphasized. Riding ethics on public lands is also stressed. Average class time is 50 minutes. I have reached over 30,000 students this exciting new awareness program always stressing the need to take a hands-on rider course. Seven other States are now using the simulator as well. It has become a valuable tool for ATV awareness safety training.

Introduction
• The ATV Safety Simulator is
hydraulically operated and creates uphill, downhill, side hill simulations, and the handlebars are free to simulator cornering
• One on one instruction with the
student ensures proper riding techniques for safe operation.
• The student can actually feel the
angular forces and shift their body weight accordingly per/instruction.

Conclusion• Bottom line; its all about reaching out to Kids and their families.• Reaching out on a mass scale and be cost effective.• Promoting national or state training opportunities. (State programs, Tread Lightly!, online training, ASI, MSF etc.).• Where can I get more training if I need it? Awareness!…information!......Why’s?.......How's?........When’s?..... Recommended or Required?........here are the details!
