STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF INJURY DATA AND THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A ROLLOVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE FOR AN ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE

The rising statistics of fatal and non-fatal injuries involving an all-terrain vehicle has called for an analysis of the accumulated data from the past years. The analysis has led to the conclusion that in the past years, the fatal and non-fatal injuries have been rising rapidly in spite of the consent decrees which were brought into effect from 1988-1998 by the consumer product safety commission. A necessity to provide increased safety while riding an all-terrain vehicle is recognized. Rollover protective structures which were used with successful results in curbing the injuries on agricultural tractors have been identified as having a potential to serve the purpose. A conceptual design of an automatically deployable rollover protective structure has been dealt with, in the thesis.
