At a level I trauma centre, hospital and crash charts were analysed for medical and technical parameters of ATV accidents. ATV drivers were 0.1% of emergency trauma patients. The mean total hospital stayrnwas 15 days; there were 1.5 stays per patients with 2.0 surgical procedures needed. One patient died, only two recovered fully. 14 cases of ATV accidents out of 18990 (0.1%) were documented within 10 years. The mean impact velocity was 35 km/h. Car collisions were predominant. The upper extremity was the predominant injured region (AIS 0.7), Mean maximum AIS was 1.4. ATV accidents in Germany are rare but pose high risk for severe injuries. Possible reasons are low active and passive security, limited experience and risky driving behaviour. Preventive measures are discussed.rn KW - Geländefahrzeug KW - Konferenz KW - Schweregrad (Unfall, Verletzung) KW - Statistik KW - Unfallhäufigkeit KW - Verletzung KW - Accident rate KW - Conference KW - Injury KW - Severity (accid, injury) KW - Sport utility vehicle KW - Statistics Y1 - 2010 UR - https://bast.opus.hbz-nrw.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/497 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:opus-bast-4979 N1 - Weitere beteiligte Körperschaft: Medizinische Hochschule Hannover / Verkehrsunfallforschung ER -
