Montana ATV Course Rollover 2018

On June 12, 2018 an ATV course was provided for two students at the Montana DNRC's Northeastern Land Office. During the field portion of the training, the second to last skills station consisted of downhill and uphill riding. Rider A road downhill into a coulee bottom and proceeded up and out on a steeper slope on the other side. Rider B followed the same path down into the coulee and started up the other side. Rider B did not obtain sufficient speed when starting up the other side and powered-out half way up. The ATV began to roll backward down the hill and rider B “bailed-off”. The ATV went over backwards coming to a rest on its wheels in the bottom of the coulee. Rider A and the instructor hurried over to rider B to asses him for injuries. Rider B stated that there were no injuries. They checked the ATV for damage. The handle bar and cluster gage sustained minor damage, as well as scratches along the side of the gas tank cover.
