Table 6 Comparison of having been in a recreational off-highway vehicle (ROV) crash in the past 12 months versus not by demographics, by residence type, by frequency of ROV riding and all-terrain vehicle (ATV) riding, and by whether respondents had been in an ATV crash in the last 12 months as reported on a survey by Safety Tips for ATV Riders (STARs) program participants in Iowa schools

From: Recreational off-highway vehicle exposure, safety behaviors and crash experiences among adolescents
