Jim Helmkamp, Senior Epidemiologist for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Western States Office, presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit Oct. 12, 2012. Hundreds of men, women and children are killed in ATV crashes each year with tens of thousands more seriously injured requiring emergency care. Between 35 and 65% of crashes involve tipping, flipping or rolling of the ATV. There has been much research underpinning these types of incidents, but little attention to identifying effective engineering solutions to minimize the risk in the event of a rollover. Crush protection devices (e.g., Quad Bar) provide increased protection to the rider when the ATV rolls. Australian research suggests that fitting ATVs with Quad Bars could potentially reduce the number of ATV deaths by up to 40%. The Quad Bar (TM) CPD is a small unobtrusive, hairpin shaped hoop mounted on the ATV behind the rider designed to counter some of the risks associated with rollovers. The Quad Bar can be an important safety modification that can have immediate impact to reduce death and injury from rollovers. Other designs are being tested in New Zealand and Sweden.
F.S. “Sandy” Stroope III, Chair, Arkansas Motor Vehicle Commission and President Arkansas Motorcycle Dealers Association, presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit on Oct. 11, 2012. ATV dealers have a responsibility to communicate important information to consumers at the point of purchase to help them make informed and correct decisions when purchasing an ATV, especially one for a young rider. I would like to share the types of information that dealers provide to consumers, such as on-vehicle and hang-tag warnings, age recommendations and the offer of free training. As Chair of our state Motor Vehicle Commission, I also have a role in making sure that dealers properly advertise ATVs for sale. I would like to share examples of responsible advertising as well as circumstances when the Motor Vehicle Commission has(or would have to) intervene(d) to stop improper advertisement of ATVs.
Dr. Charles Jennissen, of the University of Iowa Department of Emergency Medicine presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit Oct. 11, 2012. The study objective was to determine the practice of ATV dealers and salespersons with respect to providing safety information since enactment of the 2009 U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. Methods: A "secret buyer" method was utilized to evaluate seller practices. Results: 50 dealerships from 4 states were studied. 35 subjects (70%) were willing to show and discuss selling an adult-sized ATV when told that the purchase was for a 12 year old. Seven (14%) responded that ATVs should not have extra riders when the investigator made statements about the adequacy of a seat being long enough for a child to give a sibling rides. Only one subject, when prompted, informed the investigator about the need for a 12 year old to complete ATV safety training to drive in a public ATV park. Conclusions: Most ATV sellers in this study failed to follow requirements regarding age recommendations or to provide other safety information. Those who did often voiced concerns about possible negative repercussions from violations. Dealership compliance would likely benefit from increased enforcement, training, and resources. However, a "don't ask, don't tell" relationship between seller and buyer was alluded to during the study. This practice would predictably limit the impact of regulation enforcement.
Dr. Charles Jennissen, of the University of Iowa Department of Emergency Medicine presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit Oct. 11, 2012. The study objective was to better understand the relationship between speed and ATV crash-related head injuries. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of ATV-related injuries from 2002-2009 at a university hospital. Results: 345 cases were identified; 30% were children <16>s ATVs are likely contributing to more serious injuries, including more severe head injuries. Although helmets are protective, there may be ATV crash speeds or mechanisms of brain injury at higher speeds that reduce helmet effectiveness. All ATVs should have a code-protected, tamper-proof speed governor. This would particularly assist parents in protecting children and teens from the serious risks associated with high operating speeds.
Jim Helmkamp, Senior Epidemiologist for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Western States Office, presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit Oct. 12, 2012. State-specific ATV fatality rates were compared between 1990-1999 and 2000-2007 grouping states according to helmet, and training and licensure requirements (per SVIA state ATV requirement charts). 2,226 deaths occurred from 1990-1999 at a rate of 0.09 deaths per 100,000 population and 7,231 deaths from 2000-2007 at a rate of 0.32. Male rates were at least six times higher than female rates. Males accounted for about 86% of the deaths overall. Children under 17 years accounted for over one-third of the deaths in the earlier period decreasing to about 17% in the latter. The number of deaths increased 225% from the earlier period to the latter with a three-fold increase in the death rate. There was little collective difference between rates for states with or without helmet requirements and between states with or without training and licensure requirements. Policy-oriented prevention strategies over the past decade seem to have largely failed. This failure may be due to lack of enforcement and the casual attitude of many ATV riders to not wear a helmet or take training.

6. Australian Quad (V) Bar
The Quad Bar (TM) CPD (Crush Protection Device) is a small unobtrusive,
hairpin shaped hoop mounted on the quad bike behind the rider designed
to counter some of the risks associated with rollovers:
> Designed for use without a seatbelt
> Multiple Australian studies (2007-2009) indicate that benefits outweigh potential
risks
> No data currently available (including studies commissioned by manufacturers)
that indicate that the fitting of the Quad Bar increases risk
QB Industries, Australia > Fitting of quads with CPDs like the Quad Bar could potentially reduce the number
of deaths by up to 40%
> Australia has had success in reducing tractor roll-over deaths by 70% through
an engineering approach placing roll-over frames on tractors
> Recommendations have been made to the Australian government to require
that CPDs be mandated for all quads, a ‘design rule’ be developed for quads,
and a technical standard for CPDs be developed
7. Conclusions
Nearly two-thirds of U.S. ATV-related deaths involve roll-over events
A similar proportion is evident in U.S. farm-related deaths involving ATVs
Crush Protection Devices such as the Quad Bar offer scientific evidence of
having the potential of significantly reducing the number of deaths by up to 40%
U.S. manufacturers should consider fitting ATVs with CPDs like the Quad Bar or
similar devices

Editor's Notes
Thank you Commissioner for the opportunity to speak at this important safety summit to share information and develop new strategies to make ATV riding safer. The research I have conducted over the past 14 years has identified a number of risk factors and situations that have contributed to the increasing public health and economic burden exacted by ATV crashes and resulting injuries. Several of these factors – such as gender and age -- are about the person operating the ATV while other factors such as training, wearing a helmet, drinking, deciding where to ride and at what speed, and carrying passengers, for example, are about personal choices. All of these factors, singularly or in combination, may contribute to the dynamics that cause an event such as a roll-over.
Briefly, I will present data from some recent work-related ATV research I have completed at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health since 2010.Findings closely parallel results from my recreationally-focused ATV research at the state level as well as at the national level.I will then make a comparison with Australian data related to ATV roll-over deaths on farms. Finally, I will discuss the Quad Bar – a “Crush Protection Device” developed in Australia -- that should be considered as a potential engineering solution to help mitigate the burgeoning number of ATV deaths and serious injuries.
The data from this 2011 study represents the first analysis of ATV-related deaths among adult workers in the U.S. workplace, summarizing nearly 300 deaths over a 16-year period. You can see that the annual number of deaths significantly increased from 11 in 1992 to 41 in 2007 with a commensurate increase in rate as highlighted in the circles at both ends of the trend line.I want to point out that the nearly 200% increase in occupational ATV deaths from 2000-2007 greatly exceeded the estimated 75% increase in recreational ATV deaths over the same period.Males had a fatality rate 8X higher than females. Rates for workers 65 years of age and older were some 3X higher than rates for younger workers.
The rate in the agriculture/forestry/fishing/hunting industry sector was 100X the rate for all other industries. An overwhelming majority of the victims were male, white and non-Hispanic.Roll and overturn events accounted for nearly two-thirds of the deaths.
While the proportion of all ATV deaths related to farm work is much higher in Australia compared to the U.S., the proportion attributed to roll-over events is the same.I might add that an increasing proportion of these farm-related ATV deaths in both countries are occurring in persons over 60 years of age.
The V or Quad Bar – developed in Australia – is one of several “Crush Protection Devices” that has the potential to mitigate the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with roll-over events.The ROPS program in Australia for tractors has been very successful in reducing roll-over deaths and is the model for the rapidly increasing Quad-related deaths – particularly in farming and ranching operations.Efforts are currently underway in Australia to recommend that the government mandate use of crush protection devices on all quads, and to develop design rules and technical standards.
In summary, Roll-over events play a part in nearly two-thirds of ATV work-related deaths in the U.S.Successful tractor ROPS retrofit programs could serve as a model for ATVs.The Quad Bar and other similar devices offer hope to reduce the burden resulting from roll-over events.U.S. manufacturers should consider fitting ATVs with crush protection devices.
