Each year an average of 390 nonoccupants die in off-road crashes involving backing motor vehicles. These crashes happen somewhere other than on a public road, such as in private parking lots or driveways. Of this number, a disproportionately high percentage are children ages 1 to 4. This age group represents 6 percent of the U.S. population, yet accounts for 30 percent of all off-road backing fatalities. Children may be particularly vulnerable because their height makes them more difficult to see or because they do not understand the danger.
