It is always preferable to an abundance of caution and to wear a helmet when you ride on the trail of the ATV.
Then, remember the adage, "drinking and driving mix"? It goes for ATV automobiles, motorcycles and boats. Even a beer has the capacity to you in a State of slowed responsiveness… and this means that a wrong direction could be the last time that you never. Save the alcoholic beverages for dinner celebration or party the night after a long day of trail ATV cruise.
Make sure that you plan to use the "buddy system". Although there are plenty of amateurs of ATV which lead the in the mountains with nary a friend to register their playmates four-wheeled faithful, it is generally not a good idea.

Although most mountain bikes are built to handle some difficult conditions, it is best to know what kind of elements you're likely to encounter. In this way you can get dressed properly, bring appropriate gear or leave the ATV riding for another day if particularly risky conditions.
Finally, one of the most important precaution is to ensure that the operator of the ATC is well enough to navigate the trail. If you feel to all patients or physical injury which could prevent you from being a reliable driver, you need to head to another time. There is no shame to postpone a trip of the ATC, if you are under the weather. And, in addition, it is unlikely that you will enjoy fully experience if you cough, achy, or in pain.
