Abstract
In brief: Snowmobile accidents and resulting casualties in Wisconsin were surveyed from 1973 to 1982. The number and rate of accidents peaked in 1974-75 and then declined through 1982, apparently because of state legislation providing for safety programs and trail development. Drivers aged 12 to 30 and with more than 100 hours' experience accounted for most accidents. Faulty judgment by drivers caused 57% of all accidents, and alcohol was involved in 61% of the fatal accidents. During the study period the most common injury site shifted from the head to the extremities. Recommendations to further reduce accidents are offered.
