What a bozo - riding a very dangerous Can-Am. Jihad Ward posted a video during the bye week of himself doing wheelies on a 4-wheeler and said he won't stop riding it.
Off-Highway-Vehicle-Related Fatalities Reported
• As of September 2021, the year 2018 is the most recent year of reporting for fatalities that CPSC considers
complete. CPSC staff is aware of 2,211 deaths associated with Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs) that resulted
from 2,156 incidents during the 3-year period from 2016 through 2018.
• Of the OHVs involved in those 2,211 reported deaths, CPSC staff classifies 1,591 as All-Terrain Vehicles
(ATVs), 506 as Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles (ROVs), and 47 as Utility-Terrain Vehicles (UTVs). For
the remaining 67 deaths, CPSC staff does not know the vehicle classification, but staff concludes that the
vehicle is either an ROV or UTV.
• CPSC staff divided these 2,211 reported deaths across various age groups: under 12 years (6%), 12-15 (7%),
16-24 (15%), 25-34 (15%), 35-44 (13%) 45-54 (15%) and 55+ (29%). Children under 12 represent about half
(48%) of the fatalities among the combined under-16 age group.
• CPSC staff observed that OHV overturns and/or collisions (e.g., with other vehicles or stationary
objects, such as trees) were the most common fatality hazards.
Off-Highway-Vehicle-Related Emergency Department-Treated Injury Estimates
• Over the full 5-year period from 2016 through 2020, CPSC staff estimates that there were 526,900 emergency
department-treated injuries associated with OHVs (ATVs, ROVs, and/or UTVs) in the United States. This
corresponds to an estimated annual average of 105,400 emergency department-treated injuries over the
period.
• Although these estimated injuries do not trend in a single direction over the period, there is a statistically
significant decrease estimated from 115,500 in 2016, to 95,000 in 2018, followed by a significant increase to
an estimated 112,300 in 2020.
• CPSC staff divided injuries during the 2016 through 2020 period across various age groups: under 12 years
(13%), 12-15 (13%), 16-24 (23%), 25-34 (20%), 35-44 (13%) 45-54 (9%) and 55+ (8%). This distribution of
estimated injuries appears to be more heavily weighted towards younger ages than the distribution of reported
fatalities.
• In the most recent year 2020 estimated OHV-related emergency department-treated injuries for all ages,
CPSC staff found that:
• The most common diagnoses were fractures (30%) and contusions/abrasions (18%).
• The affected body parts were primarily: the head and neck (30%), the arm (shoulders to fingertips, 30%),
the torso (20%), and the leg (20%).
• Victims were more frequently identified as male (68%) than female (32%).
• Most were treated and released (78%) or hospitalized (19%).
• Hospitalizations (meaning cases treated and admitted or transferred to another hospital) were found
significantly increased in the year 2020, compared with the 4 prior years.
