Abstract
A total of 129 snowmobile injuries occurring in 117 persons was registered during
the winter of 1976–1977 in Jämtland, a county of northern Sweden. During that period
about 6600 snowmobiles were in use in the district. In 92 cases speed contributed
to the cause of the accident. Seventy-five persons were injured when falling off the
vehicle or getting caught beneath it. The accidents are analysed and suggestions are
made for their prevention.
