During 1987, 127 children under the age of 20 years died as a result of injuries they sustained while riding in the back of a pickup truck; another 1000 were injured. An analysis was conducted to review the characteristics of these injuries, and compare them to injuries sustained by children riding in the cabs of trucks. [Shortened Author Abstract]
