“…Campbell et al 12 reported that 38% of male riders and 18% of female riders rode ‘a lot’. This pattern of increased exposure among young males may help explain their increased prevalence of ATV-related injury and death 3 4 13 14…”

BackgroundNational estimates of all-terrain vehicle (ATV) riding patterns among youth in the USA are lacking.MethodsWe analysed the 2011 YouthStyles survey to estimate the proportion of 12–17 year olds in the USA who had ridden an ATV at least once during the past 12 months and summarise their patterns of helmet use.ResultsOf the 831 youth respondents, an estimated 25% reported riding an ATV at least once during the past year. The proportion of youth living outside of a Metropolitan Statistical Area who reported riding an ATV was twice that of those living inside of a Metropolitan Statistical Area. Males and females reported similar proportions of riding at least once during the past year, but among riders, the proportion of males who rode ≥6 times was triple that of females. Only 45% of riders reported always wearing a helmet, and 25% reported never wearing a helmet. The most frequent riders had the lowest consistent helmet use, with 8 of 10 youth who rode ≥6 times during the past year not always wearing a helmet.ConclusionsATV riding appears to remain popular among youth in the USA, particularly in rural areas, and consistent helmet use while riding is low. A more thorough understanding of gender differences in ATV riding patterns among youth and perceived risks and benefits of both safe and unsafe riding practices might help inform future ATV injury prevention efforts.

“…In their 2004 study of ATV accidents, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reported that 38.5% of all reported ATV accidents involved a rollover as the primary cause (41). In analyzing the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and US Department of Agriculture 2001 Childhood Agricultural Injury Survey, Goldcamp et al reported that, of an estimated 1.1 million youths living on farms, 36% had operated an ATV in 2001 (42). Children who were younger than 16 years of age were more likely to have operated an ATV than a tractor.…”

“…This is consistent with survey studies of adolescents showing high levels of unsafe riding behaviors. 5,[21][22][23][24][25][26] Additionally, on vehicles with multiple riders, two-thirds involved both operators and passengers within this age range, so negative peer influences are of particular concern.…”

“…Parents might not appreciate these limitations and their child's likelihood of engaging in risky behaviors, including carrying passengers and riding on the roads. 4,5,22,23,26,28,29 Safety training is important for these youth who may often lack even basic ATV safety knowledge. 23,[30][31][32] Injury prevention also requires getting these adolescents off adult-sized vehicles and off roadways, and the Y12+ and Y14+ models must be evaluated with respect to the safety of speed standards.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Younger age has been identified as an independent risk factor for all-terrain vehicle (ATV)-related injuries. Since the mid-1980s, one-third of ATVrelated deaths have involved children younger than 18 years of age. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Using national data, we found both similarities and differences between pediatric age groups in the contribution of known risk factors to ATV-related deaths. The observed differences suggest the importance of targeting injury prevention approaches to specific age ranges. . Ninety-five percent of all pediatric fatalities were on adult-size vehicles. Victims ,6 years old had the highest proportion of girls (24%) and passengers (76%), and the lowest helmet use (17%). More than half of 6-to 11-year-old children were vehicle operators; 1 in 4 were carrying passengers in their own age range. Over the study period, 12-to 15-year-old children accounted for more than half of all pediatric ATV-related fatalities. The proportion of youth riding on the road increased with age, as did the proportion of collisions with other vehicles. Older teens had the highest proportions of roadway fatalities (72%) and collision events (63%), and 19% of their crashes involved alcohol. Head injuries occurred in 63% of victims (the major determinant being roadway riding), and helmets reduced the likelihood of head injury among fatal crash victims by 58%.CONCLUSIONS: There were significant differences between pediatric age groups in the relative contribution of known risk factors for ATV-related fatalities. Future injury prevention efforts must recognize these differences and develop interventions based on the age range targeted.
