Injuries Are Up

“Doctors see ‘dramatic increase’ in children with ATV injuries” “We have seen a dramatic increase in the kids that come in with injuries from ATVs as compared to previous years,” said Dr. Marie Crandall, professor of surgery at UF College of Medicine in Jacksonville.

“This year, Crandall said, doctors have seen five to ten incidents a month and up to two or three deaths every month, mostly because of ATV traumatic brain injuries.”https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2020/05/27/doctors-see-dramatic-increase-in-children-with-atv-injuries/

“More kids in the US under 16 die from ATVs than bicycle crashes,” Jennissen said, emphasizing children younger than 16 – not teenagers. https://www.michiganfarmnews.com/surge-in-child-atv-injuries-coincides-with-covid-19-pandemic-experts-say
