ROBERT B. SHORT Director of Planning- Corporation of the Town of Whitby Last winter 17 people died and 485 were in- jured la a total of 558 snowmobile accidenta acroas Ontario. Alcohol was a factor in ap- proximnately half the fatal accidenta, -accor- ding to the Ontario Provincial Police. Some anowmobilers forget juat how vuinerable they are to injury both on and off the road, say OPP. Unlike a car or truck, the snowmobile offers littie protection in the event of a sudden stop or collisio n. Usually the driver and passenger are thrown off the vehicle. off-road accidents oc- cur when snow vehicles strike objects covered by snow such as rockse and tree stumpa. Dips in terrain and wire fences are deadly to snowmobilers.-. Reck- lesanesa and alcohol in- crease the danger. Barely-frozefl lakes and riVera are treacherous when a heavy snowfail covera thein. A snowmobile that plungea, through thin ice too often takea its driver and passenger with it.
