N2  - A rural community hospital's record of persons injured from all-terrain vehicle use in 1985 was reviewed. A total of 46 persons sustained 67 injuries, with 11 persons (24%) requiring hospital admission. Collisions (22%), flipping backwards (18%), rollovers (18%), and falling off (18%) accounted for the majority of accidents. Helmet use (40%) and alcohol use (30%) were also recorded. This study was compared to other recently published literature. Recommendations are made to lessen the risk of injury with usage of these vehicles.
