Abstract

Snowmobiles represent the second most common cause of trauma related to motorized vehicles in northern Wisconsin. The epidemiology of these injuries is evaluated. Specific comparisons between snowmobiles and other vehicles are made. We conclude that snowmobiles represent a controllable etiology for injuries and death. Our data suggest some interventions to prevent injuries and improve treatment.
