Did you know?

Over 70 percent of children between 5 and 14 ride bicycles (27.7 million) yet it is estimated that only 15 to 25 percent wear helmets.

During the past decade, more than 200 children died annually due to injuries sustained on ATVs.

Hospital charges alone for an ATV trauma patient range from $5,500 - $299,289, with an average of $27,400.
