Skiing and Snowmobiles are a lot of fun

Please follow these guidelines:

Most previous research regarding snowmobile injuries was conducted prior to the advent of today's sleds that offer increased stability and durability, high speeds, and good visibility.

A snowmobile can weigh up to 600 pounds and some performance sleds can travel at speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour. At 90 miles per hour, a snowmobile moves at 131 feet per second. With a standard reaction time of 1.5 seconds, a snowmobile will travel 195 feet before coming to a stop.

The number of snowmobile operators in the United States is difficult to determine because there are no uniform requirements for licensure.

In 1996, there were more than 1.3 million registered snowmobiles in the United States. Approximately 56% of all registered snowmobiles in the U.S. are registered in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.1

The effect of snowmobile safety education for children younger than 16 years on the risk of snowmobile-related injury has not been reported in the literature.

Children are at risk for snowmobile-related injury from being the operator, bystander, or passenger. Pediatric snowmobile-related injuries are often a result of risk-taking behavior of the parent (excessive speed, alcohol use, and night-time driving) during snowmobile operation.

Enjoy yourself but use caution.
