ing snowmobiles in Ontario, during the past six weeks, now stands at 13, more than twice the number of fatalities for the same period last year.The total number of snowmobile fatalities for the 2016-2017 winter season is now 20, compared to 11 fatal incidents during the previous season. The age range of the deceased is from 11

to between 50 and 60 years old. Both the OPP and OFSC cite the same reason behindmost of the fatal accidents. Riders and, in some cases, their passen- gers, fail to observe basic snowmobile safety practices. In a dozen cases, the snowmobile col- lided with a tree, a rock, a deep snowbank,

In one case, the snowmobiler died fromexposure after her machine became stuck and she developed hypothermia before rescue was possible. “This is a harsh reminder of what can happen,” stated the OPP/OFSC news re- lease, “when you do not pack an emer- gency kit for each ride.”
