Abstract
Highlights: Decrease fatalities and injuries in agricultural ATV incidents. Protect youth ATV riders in agricultural incidents Use engineering controls to reduce agricultural ATV crashes. Comprehensive perspectives on ATV incidents (Australia, Canada, Israel, Sweden, and the USA).
Abstract: All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) or quad bikes have raised serious concerns, especially in rural areas where they are used for occupation (i.e., agriculture and forestry) and recreation (i.e., hunting and recreational riding). ATVs are unstable vehicles, and their incidents have been linked to factors such as the rider's physical capabilities (such as strength, anthropometry, and visual acuity) and behavior, safety awareness (training), application of personal protective equipment, lack of protective structure, and regulations. This manuscript presents perspectives of ATV safety experts from several countries, including Australia, Canada, Israel, Sweden, and the USA. The topics include the state of the art in youth riders, engineering control methods, stability, protective structures, safety rating systems, training and education, personal protection equipment, and new regulations.
