Question Flipped my ATV, Now what?

Hello all, I just wanted to ask a question. I just bought a couple of ATV,s to spend some quality time with my kids. Don't know a whole lot about ATV's yet. My son flipped his Polaris Trailblazer yesterday, luckily he was wearing his helmet and just suffered a couple of scratches. My question is, after flipping an ATV what should be my concern besides obvious cosmetic damage?

Overall a slow rollover, or tip is no big deal - let it set to get the oil to settle, check the fluids (and battery). Inspect the controls and make sure nothing broke. Ride it easy and slow for a minute turning in both directions, stopping and starting, etc. If nothing is making odd noises and the rest checked out, have fun riding!

getting it rolled back into the rubber side down position.

you might also want to check the air filter box as sometimes oil tends to leak down into it from the breather hose when its upside down. if you find very much oil in there just mop it up with a rag and check your oil level in the machine. aside from that dont worry about it. so long as nobody got hurt its routine.
