ATV stands for “all terrain vehicle,” the leisure vehicle of choice in recent years. Not street-legal in most countries (including the US), ATVs may have three, four, or even six wheels and are somewhat similar to motorcycles in design. The additional wheels provide increased stability (especially at slower speeds) and give ATVs a greater diversity in the terrain they can handle. Used widely for recreation, ATVs are also used frequently by ranch and property owners to move over large areas of undeveloped land, much as horses were used in times past.

Springfield ATV accidents have been a concern almost since the introduction of the ATV in the early 1970’s. Improper and irresponsible use can quickly lead to an emergency room visit, even for the strongest and sturdiest users. Statistics indicating that women and children are more seriously injured more often have lead to age restrictions based on engine size (i.e. rider under the age of 12 are prohibited from using machines greater than 90 cc). Increasing scrutiny by national and state-level oversight entities has had mixed results: while safety and training is now available through these entities, in many areas, two or more sets of guidelines for use apply, some of which are voluntary.
