ATVs Pose “High Risk” of Injury and Death for Children
According to a study published in the November 24th
online edition of the journal Pediatrics,
“riding ATVs poses high risks of injury or death for children and teens.” The
study, conducted in part by researchers at University of Iowa Carver College of
Medicine in Iowa City, found that 95 percent of all ATV-related deaths were suffered
by children riding adult-sized vehicles.
The study’s authors note that adult supervision is key to
helping prevent serious injury or death. However, they also note that, “engineering
improvements in safety, such as shorter seats and requirements to meet
stability and crashworthiness standards, would help prevent injuries.”
