abstract="All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) remain a significant source of death and injury among youth. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the scope of the problem, the risk factors involved, crash-related outcomes and costs, and injury prevention strategies. There are currently more than 100 pediatric ATV-related fatalities each year and over 30,000 emergency department visits, with a potential annual cost for deaths and injuries approaching $1 billion. Major risk factors include lack of training, operating adult-size ATVs, riding as or carrying passengers, riding on the road, and not wearing a helmet. Extremity injuries are highly common, and the leading causes of death include brain injuries and multi-organ trauma. The latter increasingly involves being crushed by or pinned under the ATV. Reducing ATV-related deaths and injuries will require multiple strategies that integrate approaches from education, engineering, and evidence-based safety laws and their enforcement.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
