Filed in archive ATV , ATV Statistics , Legislation/Environment News , News on April 26, 2007
With all the to-do about limiting and restricting ATV use, it's no surprise that reports from the Consumer Product Safety Commission have gone largely ignored.
- 5% decline in the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) injury rate from 2001 to 2002;
- 31% decline in the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) injury rate from 1988 to 2002;
- 14% decline in the fatality rate for the period of 1999 to 2001;
- 15% decline since 1997 in the proportion of total ATV-related injuries that involve children under 16.
There are over 15,000,000 Americans riding atvs safely each year. They are very popular in areas other than recreation, like ranchers, law enforcement, military, even handicapped people are using them.
All this while the numbers of ATVs sold in the United States as steadily risen since 1991.

ATV's are just scary to some, especially those who don't ride them. They can be safe if handled appropriately
