ATV Deaths and Injuries | CPSC Yearly Statistics for 1982-2006
(ATVs with 3, 4 or Unknown Number
of Wheels)
(insert table here)

Consumer Product Safety Ccommission data collection systems,
Directorate for Epidemiology, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission,
2008.
¹ Deaths reported as of Dec. 31, 2006. Death data collection
for 2003 and forward is incomplete and is denoted by italics.
² Values above the heavy line in the table above reflect a
revised classification system from the one used prior to 1999. Specifically,
the line marks the switch from data collection under the Ninth Revision
of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) to collection
under the Tenth Revision (ICD-10), a transition that occurred in
January of 1999. The ICD-10 transition and related methodological
issues are discussed more fully in Appendix B of CPSC's 2006 Annual
Report of All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)-Related Deaths and Injuries.*
Death estimate not calculated in most recent year due to the degree
of incompleteness in the death data collection.
** Estimate not available.
The CPSC does not provide a separate atv rollover stat. All atv
injuries are lumped together, and all atv deaths are lumped together,
so it is impossible to know how many deaths and injuries were caused
by an atv rollover, as opposed to a different type of atv accident.
