Here in Mississippi, hunting season is in full swing and that means riding ATV vehicles. According to the Mississippi Department of Health, Mississippians are 3.5 times more likely to die from an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accident compared to the 2010 national average. Below are some precautions for ATV riders, especially younger ones.

• Be sure to wear the right equipment: Head injuries are the deadliest consequence of ATV accidents. Helmets can reduce the severity of head injuries and save a life. Arms, legs and eyes are also exposed to injury from rocks, trees and other debris, so protect them by wearing gloves, long shirts and pants, and over-the-ankle boots.
• Be sure the ATV is right for the rider: ATVs for adults and children are not the same. For riders under 16, the chance of injury doubles if riding an ATV made for an adult. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for weight and size of the rider, and don't carry passengers unless your ATV is specifically designed to do so.
• Avoid paved roads: Paved roads may seem like a safer choice for ATV riding, particularly for new learners. But ATVs are not designed to make quick turns on pavement and are likely to roll over.
• Be sure to prep before riding: Studies show that formal, hands-on ATV training lowers the risk of injury for adults and children.

Mississippi Baptist Medical Center is a designated Level III trauma and burn center. This means patients of all ages in central Mississippi, as well as across the state and beyond, can be treated at Baptist for a wide range of trauma and burns.
