Recreation, especially outdoor recreation, entails risks even if you play it safe. Here’s how to manage liability risks outdoors and still have fun.

No one wants to think about things like liability when they’re having fun in the great outdoors of Colorado. But trips can be dangerous and fun, and those dangers can bite the unwary. Front Range Insurance Services, serving Littleton, CO, can help you get the most out of your vacation while avoiding pitfalls.

Remember to be aware of your surroundings.

This is always one of the most important ways to take care of your responsibilities in the great outdoors and indoors. Awareness is good liability sense and ensures that your vacation won’t be interrupted by a dangerous and frightening trip to the hospital.

Safe tenting and vehicle parking is a must.

A parked vehicle in an unstable place can lead to dangerous situations and a talk with your insurance agent in a place that might have spotty cell reception. You want to avoid that. Park motorcycles and cars on hard-packed, level ground. In wild country, please choose an area to park with minimal brush, especially when it’s dry out, as it is so often.

Carry documentation of your insurance.

If you have recreation insurance covering your trip, ensure you have documentation of it in a safe, easy-to-find, waterproof pouch so that you always have it on hand. Don’t assume that you’ll be able to find it when you need it in an emergency – adrenaline has a way of blanking memory when it’s the least convenient.
