Motorized Vehicle Accidents Involving Children

Authors of the study, “Children Plus All Non-automobile Motorized Vehicles (Not Just All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs)) Equals Injuries” analyzed national injury data to compare ATV-related injuries with other types of non-automobile motorized vehicle-related injuries. More than one million children were treated in hospital emergency departments for non-automobile motorized vehicle-related injuries between 1990 and 2003. Over half of these injuries were caused by non-automobile motorized vehicles other than all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), including 2-wheeled off-road vehicles, 2-wheeled on-road vehicles, go-carts/buggies, and grass/farm, snow and water-related vehicles. Children age 12 or older had a greater proportion of ATV-related injuries than children under age 12. Conversely, the proportion of other non-automobile motorized vehicle-related injuries was greater among children under 12. Although most public health and legislative attention to date has been focused on ATVs, the authors want parents, children and public officials to know about the injury risks that all types of non-automobile motorized vehicles pose to children.
