ATVs present summer hazard

MARIANN MEISTER FISHBEIN

The AAP Committee on Injury and Poison prevention urges physicians to mention the dangers posed by all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) to patients and their parents during summer camp checkups.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 1,794 persons have died in ATV-related accidents since 1982. During the first six months of 1991, 31 persons died in ATV accidents and 10,800 children and adolescents, as old as 16 years, sustained injuries serious enough to warrant emergency room treatment.
