When Kristen Almer lost her 11-year-old nephew Logan in a tragic ATV accident, her family’s life changed forever. She then turned unimaginable grief into a mission to help prevent similar tragedies for other families. In this episode, host Heather Wilson Schiltz talks with Kristen about how that devastating loss led to years of research, difficult questions, and eventually the creation of the RideSafe Foundation.
This conversation goes far beyond statistics. Kristen explains the common patterns she has uncovered in youth ATV and UTV tragedies, why so many families don’t recognize the risks until it’s too late, and how RideSafe is working to reach kids directly through schools and community partnerships. From industry blind spots to practical ways communities can help, this episode offers an honest look at a problem that affects far more families than many realize.
