The study explores available data surrounding the hazards attending an explosive growth in the use of recreational vehicles. The paucity of data, largely because of the lack of suitable calssifications and categories for various recreational-vehicle types, denies the study statistical support except in a few instances. As an alternative, the study considers the potential hazards attending each type of vehicle and its use, and illustrates the reality of these problems, qualitatively, by relating many of them to accidents which have actually happened, and in which many of these safety issues have appeared. The study recommends that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration obtain and study the data necessary to verify the nature and extent of these problems, provide new vehicle classifications, extend many motor vehicle safety standards to vehicles not now included, and conduct a pilot program aimed at making available adequate consumer information and safety guides for the purchasers and users of recreational vehicles.
