cbs news just can't kick the habits of good ol boy Dan Rather. They're misrepresenting facts to the point where it's a flat out lie.
They claim a 24% increase in children's accidents in the last 5 years.
But the CPSC says...
The estimated number of 4-wheel ATVs in use has grown by 3.8 million from 1998 to 2004 to nearly 7 million vehicles. This compares to the less than half a million in use when the Commission first addressed ATVs back in 1984.
That translates to an increase of over 100% in usage from 1998 to 2004. So ATV accidents have literally gone down by ~75%
Must be that new math.
