Twenty-one adolescents, ranging in age from 9 to 16 years, sustained accidental injuries while operating a minibike, motorcycle, or go-cart. Their injuries ranged from lacerations and contusions to paraplegia and amputation. This study suggests that this new pattern of injury is reaching epidemic levels in this age group.
