- Abstract
- In the US there are more than 10 million
all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in use. Narrow
wheelbase, high center of gravity and high
speed driving make these vehicles unstable
on steep and rough terrain, and, as a result,
rollover is the most common accident. ATVs
are mostly a recreational vehicle, but they have
become a working and transportation vehicle
on many US farms where they are so popular
that youth are more likely to operate an ATV
than a tractor. Statistics show high rates of
injuries and death in agriculture, with a high
incidence of youths injured. The objective of
the study is to investigate the effectiveness
of an ATV stability simulator to increase the
risk awareness of rollover and stimulate safer
driving behavior with young drivers. The
ATV stability simulator is a platform where a
commercial model of ATV is firmly fixed and
can be laterally tilted under the control of an
instructor. People visiting the Penn State Rural
Health and Safety Extension exhibit area at the
2012 Agricultural Progress Days were asked to
ride the ATV stability simulator and to complete
a brief questionnaire. Thirty-seven individuals
(4 females) from 12 to 19 years old rode the
simulator. Ten people did not have any previous
experience in riding any ATV. Fourteen people
had less than 2 years experience while 14 had
more than 2 years of ATV riding experience.
Seventeen participants rode ATVs weekly
while 10 were less frequent users. Seventeen
people used ATVs for recreation purposes,
5 for agricultural tasks (mainly transportation),
and 5 for both usages. Nearly 30% (8) of the
participants having ATV riding experience
had a rollover, while 27 of the respondents
reported that they knew someone injured or
that had died in an ATV accident. Nearly all
the participants (35 out of 37) affirmed that
the experience on the simulator helped them
to better understand better ATVs stability and
likely helped to observe more closely in the
future the conditions that can affect the ATV
stability. Participants judged the simulator to be
an effective tool in training riders, particularly
beginning riders, to safely operate ATVs. (literal)
