Canada safety council urges protection
it comes to traveling at decent speeds with minimal protection. In bicycle mishaps, first contact with the ground is usually made by the forehead af- ter a fall, whichmakes wearing a bicycle hel- met even more crucial to provide additional safety for your brain in a spill. The additional cushioning could even save your life. In fact, a 2012 study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found that cyclists who do not wear a helmet are three times more likely to suffer fatal brain trauma than those who wear protective headgear. A Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved helmet offers multiple levels of
protection, with the outer shell reducing friction and penetration while the inner foam spreads the impact out to reduce blunt trauma injury. These cycling helmets are invaluable when riding a bicycle or in- line skates. Skateboard users should be wearing an appropriate skateboarding helmet. Since falls are more common with this activity, helmets are specifically designed to pro- tect more of the back of the head. Unlike bicycle helmets, skateboard headgear is also designed to protect against multiple falls, whereas bicycle helmets should be re- placed after a crash where the head is hit.
The best prevention for injury is safe manoeuvring, conscientious road use and well-maintained transportation. Although helmets can help mitigate injury in the event of a collision, the best course of ac- tion is always to manoeuver your skate- board, inline skates and bicycles safely to prevent a collision from happening in the first place. However, predicting the actions of other motorists can be very difficult and borderline impossible at times. Interaction with other motorists and road users makes helmet use a necessary part of the equation to keep you safe and protected.

CORNWALL | It’s that time of the year again. With schools about to release their students for the summer and the upcom- ing warm months providing plenty of reason to enjoy the great outdoors, the Canada Safety Council would like to re- mind Canadians to wear a helmet when participating in open-air activities involv- ing wheels. These include cycling, inline skating and skateboarding. In 2011, Canada saw 52 cyclist fatalities according to Transport Canada, down from 62 the year before. Two-thirds of all fatal bicycle collisions in- volve the head and, while the most serious incidents have historically involved cyclists colliding with motor vehicles, these are not common — vehicular collisions are in- volved in less than 20 per cent of reported cycling injuries. Most injuries occur from falls or collisions with stationary objects, other cyclists or pedestrians. Statistics are less readily available with regards to skateboarding and inline skat- ing, but the risks are still self-evident when Criminal harassment, extorsion, breach A 30-year-old Cornwall man was arrested on June 13 and charged with criminal ha- rassment, extortion and breach of recogni- zance and probation, for having communi- cated with someone that he has conditions not to, and being within 100 meters of that person. He was also charged with failing to keep the peace. It is alleged that during the month of June, the man continually com- municated with his 25-year-old ex-common law wife by way of text messages, facebook and phone calls. During this time, the man also threatened to post intimate pictures of his ex-common law wife if she did not com- municate with him. Theft under $5000, breach A 16-year-old Cornwall youth was ar- rested on June 13 and charged with theft under $5000 and breach of undertaking for failing to notify of a change of address. It is alleged that on June 13, the youth attend- ed a Brookdale Avenue store and removed several items making no attempts to pay for them. Kimberly Laird, 33, and Michael Brown, 64, both of Cornwall, were arrested on June 14 and charged with theft under $5000. Laird was also charged with breach of re- cognizance for having consumed Continued on page 10
