Analysis of recreational off-road vehicle accidents resulting in spinal cord injury
Twelve cases of spinal cord injury resulting from recreational off-road vehicle accidents seen during a 3 year period at a spinal cord injury center were analysed using structured interviews and record reviews. An analysis of accident victims' characteristics showed that all age groups were at risk. Accident hazard patterns were categorised. Speeding was the main cause leading to injury. Some recommendations are made as well.
