N2 - All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) or quad bikes have raised serious concerns, especially in rural areas where they are used for occupation (i.e., agriculture and forestry) and recreation (i.e., hunting and recreational riding). ATVs are unstable vehicles, and their incidents have been linked to factors such as the rider's physical capabilities (such as strength, anthropometry, and visual acuity) and behavior, safety awareness (training), application of personal protective equipment, lack ofprotective structure, and regulations. This manuscript presents perspectives ofATV safety experts from several countries, including Australia, Canada, Israel, Sweden, and the USA. The topics include the state of the art in youth riders, engineering control methods, stability, protective structures, safety rating systems, training and education, personal protection equipment, and new regulations.
