Are your
kids safe on the slopes? |
By Adrienne J. Greene 2004-05
For many children, winter does not mean an end to outdoor fun.
From sledding to skiing, snowmobiling to ice skating, children
find lots to do when the snow starts to fall. Unfortunately, the
cold season can also lead to tragedy if children are not properly
prepared and supervised.

Safety
Message of the Month: Wear your helmet |
By
Jodie Dierickx
I can personally speak on how wearing a helmet has protected
me from serious injury when mountain biking. In fact, one of our
clubs, Portland United Mountain Peddlers (PUMP) requires everyone
joining their organized rides to wear helmets. Why should skiing
be any different?
