¹ Deaths reported as of Dec. 31, 2009. Death data collection for 2007 and forward is incomplete and is denoted by italics. The percentages shown in column 3 for the years where reporting is incomplete should be interpreted with caution because the rate at which deaths are reported may not be consistent across all age groups.
² Values above the heavy line in the table above reflect a revised classification system from the one used prior to 1999. Specifically, the line marks the switch from data collection under the Ninth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) to collection under the Tenth Revision (ICD-10), a transition that occurred in January of 1999. The ICD-10 transition and related methodological issues are discussed more fully in Appendix A of CPSC’s 2009 Annual Report of All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)-Related Deaths and Injuries
* Adjusted yearly estimates for children under 16 years old were not computed prior to 1985.
