The Organization will do the best on preventing accidents or reduce the severity of them by: - Advising low speeds on difficult tracks.

- Advising invisible danger points.

- Providing accurate Road Book instructions where the dangerous sections will be clearly highlighted.

But this will work only if every competitor helps himself, first; and the whole organization, second: - Don't drive faster than your personal "comfort zone" - If you drive faster than this, the risk of an accident increases dramatically.

- Remember that you are in remote area of an remote Balkan country.

- Study carefully your Road Book, the dangerous sections and considerate the nature of danger.

- Don’t follow other drivers without properly navigating.

If an accident happens, fast action also depends on you.

- Press the SOS button on your tracker Use your mobile phone (more than 90% of the tracks have good coverage) to call us.

- The emergency numbers can be found on the back of your Time Card.

- Give us a description for the type and severity of the accident, also the nearest RoadBook point.

- If there is no coverage, drive in the direction of the next checkpoint until you have good coverage or until you reach the checkpoint.

In order to have the best chances of rescue and assistance for yourself and others, it is important that your security equipment be always complete and your mobile phone be switched on during driving.

To be able to provide a fast and high level of medical assistance, we have: - Two well equipped off road ambulances.

- Doctors at every Special Section start and finish.

- 1 doctor in Moto on the track.

- Road Ambulances at the nearest point of asphalt.

In the case of a serious accident, our team will try to get you in hospital by air. Remember that we are NOT in desert and the typology of Greek terrain makes in difficulty landing of the helicopter everywhere.

Ultimately, the prevention of accidents is in your hands.

- Always drive carefully and at a safe speed that is suitable for your skill level.

- Don't forget these safety points: - Expect the unexpected at all times on the track; traffic, animals, people, woodcuters, other participants,etc.
