Extractions: UNC News Services CHAPEL HILL North Carolina children under age 16 who ride all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are less than half as likely as comparable Pennsylvania children to wear helmets while riding since the law requires the latter to don the protective gear, a new study shows. Injured children in Pennsylvania tended to be older and have fewer crashes in state parks and other recreational areas, according to the research, conducted at the universities of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Michigan. Study findings were consistent with the Pennsylvania legislations purpose. Of the 858 Pa. children admitted to level I or level II trauma centers for ATV injuries between January 1997 and July 2000, 3.6 percent, or 31, died. Of the 222 N.C. children admitted to such centers over the same period, 4.5 percent, or 10, died. A report on the findings appears in the April issue of the journal Pediatrics. Authors are Drs. Heather T. Keenan, research assistant professor of social medicine at the UNC School of Medicine, and Dr. Susan L. Bratton, a University of Michigan pediatrics professor.

Safety advocates Friday slowed down a Senate bill to regulate all-terrain vehicles, throwing its passage into doubt and renewing a debate that has killed previous regulation efforts. Senators narrowly approved a motion by Sen. Roman Prezioso, D-Marion, to delay until Monday consideration of an amended version of a House ATV bill (HB4022). The delay was a tactical move spurred by Sen. Mike Oliverio, D-Monongalia, who wants time to rally support for an amendment meant to strengthen the bill by deleting language that allows ATVs on paved roads.

Hines, Hinson, Koon, Lloyd, Mahaffey, Martin, McCraw, Merrill, Miller, Moody-Lawrence, Pinson, M.A. Pitts, Snow, Stille, Taylor and Emory S. Printed 4/27/04H. Read the first time March 10, 2004. STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT REVENUE IMPACT1/ This bill is expected to increase earmarked funds of DNR by $433,500 in FY 2004-05. With full implementation, a minimum of this same amount is expected in succeeding years. Based on current allocations of penalties this bill would not impact the general fund revenue in FY 2004-05. Explanation This bill, as amended, enacts "Chandler's Law" to define an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) for use as a motorized off-highway vehicle in this State. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is designated to set regulations for operation and safety equipment; registration and licensing to include safety education certificates; and operator and owner liability. DNR would also enforce criminal and civil penalties. The DNR would retain all proceeds for an ATV registration fee of $30, valid for a three year period, to support operations. Existing ATVs must be registered within one year of enactment. Any ATVs purchased after that anniversary date must then be registered within sixty days of purchase. The disposition of criminal or civil penalties is to be determined based on agency or statutory guidelines for the particular offense.

We Welcome Your Referrals One Out of Every 12 Cars Was Recalled Last Year There were more than 500 auto recalls in the U.S. last year, affecting almost 20 million vehiclesor about one out of every 12 cars on the road. Recalls are becoming more common. The number of recalls last year was up 137% from just 10 years ago. Its not clear if thats good news or bad news. It might mean that the industry has gotten better at spotting and fixing problems. Or it might mean that there are just a lot more problems. The increase in recalls might also reflect the fact that industry suffered some bad publicity after the Ford-Firestone debacle in 2000. In the wake of that scandal, the government dramatically increased the financial penalties for manufacturers of defective cars and for executives who hide information about defects. Some cars have been recalled more than once. The 1997 Ford F-150 has been re-called 13 times. The 2000-01 BMW X5 has been recalled 12 times, and the 2000-02 Ford Focus has been recalled 11 times.

Extractions: MANHATTAN All terrain vehicles have become indispensable for some farmers. However, ATVs can also be dangerous if safety precautions are not followed. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has been tracking ATV safety issues for several years and reports that accident and injury rates are increasing at a rate higher than would be expected, based on new sales of the vehicles. The CPSC's data supports the conclusion that ATVs are dangerous and are often used improperly resulting in injury to the rider. The use of personal protective equipment is the first step toward ATV safety, according to Kansas State University Research and Extension's agriculture safety specialist, John Slocombe. He recommends the following equipment for personal protection when driving an ATV:

In the past, some trails were maintained on a frequent basis; however, with decreased budgets, maintenance on these trails has been sporadic. Many trails are now showing signs of deterioration, including braided trails caused by downed trees and wet terrain, erosion, and garbage.

http://www.challismessenger.com/archives/0219atv1.html

Extractions: Rick Collignon said IDPR is working to iron out several practical problems, the biggest of which is trail access into Challis. A big local selling point of the trail loop has been the access it will give riders to businesses in the cities of Challis, Mackay and Arco, boosting local economies. The commissioners told Collignon they tried to get the highway department to leave in the old steel bridge for its historical and scenic values and for fishermen to use, but the department removed it when the new concrete bridge was built. He said the Idaho Department of Transportation is working on determining what permits will be required parallel to highway rights of way. Federal agencies give input IDPR will respond to federal agency concerns in March. Neither agency will have to change its travel plan to accommodate the Lost River ATV trail, Collignon said, which would mostly use existing routes. The IDPR proposal is in line with what the federal agencies are proposing and also what Custer County wants, Collignon said. The IDPR board is more galvanized on the Lost River trail and in designating a statewide system of designated routes than when it was first proposed last year, he added.

http://ohioline.osu.edu/aex-fact/0597.html

Extractions: Since 1982 the United States has reported 2,000 ATV-related deaths. With more than 50 of these fatalities in Ohio , this state ranks twelfth in the nation for ATV accidents. Yearly, an estimated 40,000 emergency-room cases are reported nationwide; 40 percent of these injuries were to children less than 16 years of age. The state has developed strategies and programs to reduce injuries and deaths related to careless, inappropriate and risky ATV use. The goal of the 4-H Community ATV Safety Program is to increase the practice of safe behaviors and attitudes among the youth who operate ATVs. Additional emphasis must be placed on helping adults make informed decisions about whether or not young people in their care should operate an ATV. Safe ATV riding depends on the rider's ability to recognize hazardous riding conditions. It is possible to determine how safe a ride will be by first evaluating the rider's personal abilities, the ATV capabilities, and then the terrain and environmental conditions. For more details on safe riding, see the national 4-H pamphlet Safety Tips for the ATV Rider , available from your county Extension office.

Extractions: Us June 18 The All-Terrain Vehicle Association (ATVA) reminds ATV enthusiasts that the deadline for submitting comments on ATV safety to the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission is July 5. Comments should be captioned "ATV Hearing" and sent to: Office of the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington D.C. 20207. On June 5, the commission held a hearing in Morgantown, W.Va., to gather information on ATV safety, and to hear comments on a proposal to ban the sale of full-sized ATVs for use by children under 16. Among other things, the panel could be laying the groundwork for a displacement limit of 399cc on ATV engines. At the hearing, more than 35 people testified, with about half charging that ATVs are unsafe, and the other half saying ATVs are a viable form of individual and family recreation. The ATVA and its sister organization, the American Motorcyclist Association, testified that no new federal regulations are needed. Instead, they sought more rider-training opportunities and more areas where enthusiasts can ride under controlled conditions. The Morgantown meeting marked the first time since 1985, as far as the commission staff could remember, that the panel had gone outside Washington, D.C., to conduct a hearing on product safety. Those 1985 hearings also involved ATVs, and two years later three-wheeled ATVs were banned.
