All terrain vehicles (ATV) were introduced in the early 1970s, but have truly come to prominence in the last decade or so. The leisure vehicle of choice in recent years, ATV’s are not street legal in most countries. They may have three, four, or six wheels. In mechanical design and operation, they are most similar to motorcycles, with the additional wheels providing both increased capability for other, non-paved terrains and stability. These capabilities have also made ATVs popular with ranchers and property owners who use them to move over large areas of undeveloped land in much the same way that horses have been used in the past.

Since their introduction, safety concerns have surrounded ATV’s. Even the strongest and sturdiest ATV riders can end up in the emergency room by riding irresponsibly and improperly. Since ATV accident and injury statistics have been kept, a clear trend has emerged: children and women are more likely to be more seriously injured more often. This pattern has lead oversight agencies to focus on age restrictions to enhance safety. In addition, the establishment of ATV organizations means that rider training is now widely available. Most rules and regulations governing the use of ATV’s occurs at the state and regional level.
