Episode Details

Louisiana’s new Youth ATV/UTV Safety Task Force is tackling a growing danger: kids under 14 riding these vehicles. Made up of cops, health experts, and wildlife officials, the team’s mission is clear—educate, protect, and prevent crashes. ER nurses at Ochsner in Baton Rouge warn of devastating injuries, especially brain trauma, because kids’ bodies can’t handle impacts like adults. They stress constant supervision, zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol, and always call 911 after any crash—never move someone with neck pain. Even if they seem fine, hidden brain damage can lurk. Join the task force’s board by emailing rfaul@wlf.la.gov.
