Debating the safety of ATVs
By Bob Reha
Minnesota Public Radio
August 28, 2002 All-terrain vehicles, or ATVs, are a controversial subject. For those who ride, ATVs are an exciting way to spend time outdoors. Others view the vehicles as a noisy threat to the environment. A recent study conducted by consumer, children's and environmental groups says ATVs are a serious health threat to children and that the industry needs stricter regulation. Over the past 20 years, more than 4,500 Americans died riding ATVs. Of those deaths, 38 percent were children under 16. Half of those, were under the age of 12.

ATV enthusiasts: New regulations should hoist safety to a higher level
Posted: Saturday, May 22, 2004 - 08:33:05 pm EDT
By ADRIA HAIRSTON
Bluefield Daily Telegraph
"We have definitely sold a lot of helmets for both children and adults, because people are more concerned about riding safely," Rick Neal, owner of an ATV retail store in Bluewell, said.
"We sell down about every week with helmets, but we keep a lot in stock for that purpose," Marlin Douglas, a Princeton ATV merchant, said.
"I definitely think it's a good thing, because people really should take safety seriously. In my family, we all have helmets and have even taken the safety training course," Neal said.
"The stricter laws will also require ATV operators to take a training course," Neal said.
"We agree with stricter laws and we think the laws are good. We also want to make sure that we promote safety," he said.
According to a national study by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), since 1992 West Virginia has averaged 15 ATV-related deaths per year. There were 27 deaths in 2003. The new state ATV laws that will require individuals under the age of 18 to wear a helmet go into effect Wednesday.

MTR can not be held responsible for errors contained in these FAQ's or any other section of this website. MTR strives to ensure that all our content is kept up-to-date. However, laws and regulations regarding ATV's and their use change frequently. Further, MTR is an all volunteer organization and as such time and resources are limited. Please remember that MTR is NOT offering any legal advice. We are simply trying to raise awareness. Do I have to register my ATV? The answer to this question is Yes and No. That is, registration requirements vary by state. As of 2003, Kentucky had no ATV registration requirement. However, certain public riding areas in Kentucky do require that you purchase permits or trail passes before riding. Indiana on the other hand requires that an ATV to be registered but only if you ride the ATV on public land or roadways. If you ride your ATV in Indiana only on private property, then you do not have to register it.
The ATV regulations
section of the MTR site provides some additional information on state registration requirements. It also contains links to the various state websites where you can research the current registration requirements for yourself.

The All-Terrain Vehicle Boom
Injury Alert Are ATVs safe? Young Riders Sharpen Your Skills The all-terrain vehicle (ATV) first appeared in Canada in the 1970s. It was designed and sold as a multipurpose utility and recreational vehicle. ATVs are used in farming, forestry, natural resource exploration, law enforcement and peacekeeping. In recent years, they have become very popular for adventure tourism, trail riding and camping. Between 1996 and 2001, ATV sales in Canada tripled. This explosive growth, largely due to recreational use, has led to the formation of provincial ATV federations. The aging population is a factor. People who enjoy the outdoors, but can no longer walk long distances, can venture into the back country on ATVs to enjoy nature. Injury Alert In February 2003, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) reported a 50 per cent increase in hospitalizations due to ATVs over the past five years (from 1,693 in 1996/1997 to 2,535 in 2000/2001). In the category of sports and recreation, ATV-related activities are now the third most common cause of severe injuries next to cycling and snowmobiling. According to CIHI, children between the ages of five and 19 accounted for more than one-third (36 per cent) of all ATV-related injuries. Of the 92 ATV-related severe injury admissions in 2000/2001 where alcohol involvement was recorded, 26 per cent had consumed alcohol. The provinces with the largest increases in ATV-related injuries were New Brunswick (90 per cent) and Alberta (89 per cent).

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Chairman to Hold ATV Meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico
WASHINGTON D.C. - U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Chairman Hal Stratton will conduct a regional public field meeting on All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) safety in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on November 6, 2003.
"We want to hear from New Mexicans and other stakeholders in Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Colorado about how they use their ATVs. We want to get their perspective on ATV safety issues," said Stratton.
The Commission is aware of 40 ATV-related deaths in New Mexico; 106 deaths in Arizona; 59 deaths in Oklahoma; 206 deaths in Texas; 80 deaths in Utah; and 44 deaths in Colorado between 1982 and 2001. Nationally, the Commission has reports of 4,541 people who died on ATV's during that period. The death rate in recent years has climbed, with Commission staff estimating 547 deaths associated with the use of ATVs in 2000 alone.
ATV injuries requiring an emergency room visit have more than doubled in recent years - from an estimated 54,700 in 1997 to 111,700 in 2001. In this same period, the estimated number of ATV drivers increased 36 percent, driving hours grew 50 percent and the number of ATVs increased 40 percent, according to a recent Commission staff analysis. About a third of the victims injured in 2001 were under 16 years old.

Federal Safety Panel Continues Investigation of ATVs
Oct. 24 – Hal Stratton, chairman of the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission, will hold a public meeting on ATV safety on November 6 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. "We want to hear from New Mexicans and other stakeholders in Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Colorado about how they use their ATVs," Stratton said. "We want to get their perspective on ATV safety issues." The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. in Smith Brasher Hall, 717 University Boulevard, SW (on the corner of University Boulevard and Coal Avenue). Requests to make oral presentations may be made to Lizzy Gary at (301) 504-7884, by e-mail at egary@cpsc.gov , or by fax at (301) 504-0768. Requests to testify received before October 31 will be given first priority. Presenters are asked to provide the text of their presentation by November 3. The full commission held a similar meeting in June in Morgantown, West Virginia, where more than 30 people testified, representing the All-Terrain vehicle Association, American Motorcyclist Association, riders, dealers, training organizations, the medical community, law enforcement officers, and others. At that hearing, ATV opponents made some outrageous suggestions to the commission, suggesting such things as rollbars, seatbelts, governors to limit speed, a 399cc maximum limit on the size of ATV motors, and a ban on kid-sized ATVs of 90cc and less.

An ATV is not a toy. An ATV handles differently from all vehicles. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during routine manoeuvres such as turning and driving on hills and over obstacles, if you fail to take proper precautions. Always read the Owners Manual carefully and follow the operating procedures described. Pay special attention to the warnings contained in the manual and all the labels on the machine. The manufacturer advises that no one under the age of 18 years should operate this ATV and you should be aware of the requirements of the Agriculture (Accidents to Children) Regulations 1958. Never carry a passenger on an ATV. Carrying a passenger may upset the balance of the ATV and may cause loss of control.

HSE Press Release E058:02 - 20 March 2002
Wear a helmet, HSE warns quad bike users
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has issued a warning to users of ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles or quad bikes), particularly agricultural and forestry workers, to ensure they are wearing the appropriate head protection and have received sufficient training on the safe operation of ATVs. These measures can save lives. Charles Fraser, 32, an agricultural mechanic, was fatally injured when he fell, or was thrown, from an ATV which he was testing after repair. Mr Fraser had not been provided with any head protection by his employer, and A.M. Phillip Ltd had not undertaken a suitable and sufficient risk assessment associated with the test-driving of ATVs. The company pleaded guilty and was fined for contravening the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, Section 2(1), in that it failed to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety of one of its employees while at work. The firm had failed to provide protective headgear, a legal requirement under the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992. It had also not carried out a risk assessment for test-driving following repairs, a contravention of Regulation 3(1) of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. Similar legal requirements are placed on the self-employed. HSE investigating inspector Douglas Conner said after the case:
"This was a tragic fatality which unfortunately highlights the kind of accident that can happen to riders of ATVs who have not been trained and are not wearing suitable head protection. A motor cycle helmet complying with BS 6658 and BS 4110 is recommended and professional training is essential.

ATV Safety on the Farm MANHATTAN, Kan. – All terrain vehicles (ATVs) have become indispensable for some farmers. However, ATVs can also be dangerous if safety precautions are not followed. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) 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: · Helmet with a face shield and goggles. The equipment should fit snugly, be securely fastened, ventilated, and be approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). · Leather boots or shoes. This means quality boots, or over-the-ankle work shoes with good heels and slip resistant soles.

Johnson County 4-H Receives Grant to Offer Four ATV Safety Classes
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 21, 2003
Olathe, Kansas - Riding an all terrain vehicle can be an enjoyable and rewarding outdoor sport. ATV's are fun and functional too. On the other hand, reckless or unsafe ATV use can result in a dangerous and destructive experience for both people and the environment. Many people have been seriously injured or have died as a result of ATV-related accidents. More than 3,400 ATV-related deaths have been reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) since 1985. Approximately 35 percent of the victims were under 16 years of age and 15 percent were under 12 years of age. In response to the community's need for ATV safety education, Johnson County 4-H has received a grant through American Honda Motor Co., Inc. to offer the public four free classes, March 2, 15, 22 and 30. Participants will receive helmets, gloves, goggles and medical kits along with a handbook on ATV safety. Classes sizes are limited. Please call Paul Atteberry at 913-681-3152 for class times, locations and to register.

Consumer Alert's monthly update on the Consumer Product Safety Commission Volume 3, Issue 5 June 25, 1998
By: Carol Dawson Year 2000 Priorities Get a Hearing Frustrated by CPSC's inability to focus on serious product safety hazards, some years ago Congress directed the agency to set priorities in its budget requests. Until recently, CPSC voted to establish certain Priority Projects, which were product safety issues that must be fully funded, i.e., the data collection, research, and/or technical work required would take precedence over other less significant projects. Congress had directed that these projects relate to specific consumer products. The goal was to complete projects in a more businesslike manner rather than dragging projects on and on over the years. Since Ann Brown took over the office of chairman in 1994, priority setting has largely been ignored. Nevertheless, the Commission still considers what it calls programmatic priorities and conducts a public hearing before the budget process begins. Currently CPSC is preparing its Fiscal Year 2000 budget, and it sought public comment at a hearing on May 21, 1998.
