Snowmobile Safety Tips
The Killaloe OPP is asking snowmobile riders to follow these simple safety tips:
Take it Easy: Always ride within the speed limit, within your own ability and according to current trail and weather conditions.
Slow Down at Night: Ride cautiously at night and never outrun your sled headlights.
See and Be Seen: Good judgment, depth perception and quick reaction time depend on being able to see properly at all times. Slow down and keep right in reduced visibility situations like snow dust, sun glare, heavy falling snow, or when visor or glasses are
fogged up; always wear bright colours and reflective materials so others can see you more easily.
Ride with Companions: Never snowmobile alone. Riding buddies can provide immediate assistance for breakdowns, when getting stuck or in emergency situations.
Be Prepared: Snowmobiling incidents occur in unpredictable and uncontrolled natural settings where each rider needs to always expect the unexpected. Snowmobiling can take you far away from emergency assistance, so each rider must be prepared by carrying a tool kit, spare parts, flashlight, first-aid kit and survival items such as high-energy food, fire-starting equipment and a compass
In the event you are reporting an occurrence that does not require immediate police assistance please call 1-888-310-1122.
