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.
1973 年至 1982 年期间对威斯康星州的雪地机动车事故和由此导致的伤亡情况进行了调查。事故数量和发生率在 1974-1975 年达到顶峰，然后一直下降到 1982 年，这显然是因为州立法提供了安全计划和路线开发。年龄在 12 岁至 30 岁之间、经验超过 100 小时的司机发生的事故最多。司机的错误判断导致了 57%的事故，而酒精则涉及 61%的致命事故。在研究期间，最常见的受伤部位从头部转移到四肢。提出了进一步减少事故的建议。
