and Misconceptions
Fall brings apple cider, pumpkin patches, fun seasonal outfits, and corn mazes. Unless you are visiting a “haunted” corn maze, you and your family 5 Corn Maze Safet y Tips FUN FOR ALL THIS FALL probably won’t be chased by a chainsaw-wielding serial killer while you try to navigate through. However, safety risks are still present. Here are five safety tips to keep the fun coming during your next corn maze experience. Follow the rules. At the entrance to each corn maze, there should be a sign stating the rules for visitors. For the safety of yourself, your children, and others, be sure to read each rule and follow along. Always accompany your kids in the corn maze — it is a maze, after all! Watch for tripping and fire hazards. Keep your eyes peeled for any obstacles on the path, including holes, bumps, ruts, and corn stalks. While navigating a maze, it can be easy to forget to look down while searching for the exit. To prevent fires, you should also avoid smoking and never use matches or lighters. Wear proper footwear. Ensure that you and your family all have proper footwear, preferably closed-toed shoes, while exploring the maze. You never know what kind of critters or potentially harmful hazards may appear in your path. Eat beforehand and stay hydrated. Be sure to eat before setting out into the maze and don’t bring any glass bottles with you, as it can be dangerous if broken. Furthermore, do not consume alcohol before or while enjoying your time at the corn maze. Be prepared. Accidents can happen, usually at the most unexpected times! It is important to always have a first-aid kit handy. Be sure to call 911 in an emergency and let staff know what is going on.
2. You do not need to call 911 if the damages are minor.
No matter how bad — or not bad — the car accident is, you should always call the police. Responding officers will document the scene and complete an accident report that serves as documentation and evidence for your case. 3. It’s not worth hiring a lawyer.
When dealing with the insurance company’s attorneys and adjusters, they are sure to have more knowledge and prowess in this area than you do. After all, it is their job to maneuver the ins and outs of the car accident. Even if it is just for a consultation, it is always smart to meet with an attorney. 4. Rear-end accidents are always the fault of the rear driver. While this is usually the case, it is not always the case. If the driver in front has brake lights that are not working properly, they could be found at fault. A third-party driver’s actions could also throw a wrench into determining the at-fault driver. 5. I feel fine after the accident and do not need a doctor. Even if you have no pain at the scene of the crash, you should still be medically evaluated. Neck, back, and brain injuries can be difficult to detect and require some serious testing, and their severity is only proven over time. Do not decline medical attention.
