Celebrate the 4th of July By Wearing a Life Jacket
Independence Day is rapidly approaching, and this year, more boaters may be out on the water than in recent years. As the pandemic improves in much of the country, Americans are now turning their attention to summer parties, boating excursions, and water activities. Unfortunately, the 4th of July is a notoriously dangerous holiday - especially for people spending the day on the water.
According to the US Coast Guard statistics, the three summer holidays (July 4th, Memorial Day, and Labor Day) account for more than a third of all boating accidents and fatalities. In addition, the highest number of boating accidents occurs in July.
Sadly, a staggering 80 percent of those who lost their lives in boating accidents would still be alive if they had been wearing a life jacket.
To improve your chances of staying safe on the water, the Safe Boating Campaign recommends that all boaters keep three things in mind when boating:

In a Car Accident Settlement, How are TBIs Calculated?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 2.87 million people in the United States suffer from some form of brain injury. Around 50,000 will die due to their injuries, and another 80,000 will experience long-term disability.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can occur due to various causes, including falls, car accidents, and sports-related activities. In particular, traffic accidents, such as motorcycle crashes and bicycle accidents, can result in life-threatening injuries, especially if victims are not wearing a helmet.
The effects of brain injuries can be devastating. Many survivors experience lifelong disabilities such as paralysis, cognitive impairments, and personality changes. These disabilities can make it difficult or impossible for survivors to live independently or hold down a job.
Fortunately, there are many resources available to help survivors and their families cope with the challenges of brain injury. Many people can lead full and productive lives despite their injuries with the proper support.
Where Do Bicycle Accidents Happen in Denver?
Bicycle accidents in Denver are often severe and sometimes even fatal. In Denver, bicyclists represent roughly 2 percent of the state's crash fatalities. However, ten times as many cyclists suffer serious injuries in accidents on the road.
While wearing a helmet dramatically reduces the risk of sustaining a serious head injury in a bicycle accident, it does not prevent all types of injuries.
While bicycle accidents can occur at any time and to anyone, there are some places where bicycle accidents seem to occur at a more alarming rate. In the city of Denver, bicycle accidents are surprisingly more concentrated in a dozen city core neighborhoods.
Bicycle accidents are more likely to occur in these Denver neighborhoods:
- Congress Park
- Westwood
How to Talk to Your Teen About Safe Driving
The 100 Deadliest Days of Summer are rapidly approaching for teen drivers. The 100 deadliest days of summer are a period of time when teen drivers are more likely to be involved in fatal car accidents. This period typically runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. During this time, most teens are out of school and have more free time to drive. This increases the risk of serious and deadly car crashes.
There are a number of factors that contribute to the increased risk of accidents during the 100 deadliest days of summer. One is that inexperienced drivers tend to take more risks behind the wheel, such as speeding or driving while distracted. Additionally, there are more cars on the road during summer vacation, which can lead to congested traffic and an increased chance of accidents.
To help keep teens safe on the roads this summer, parents and guardians should encourage them to drive safely and follow the rules of the road. Additionally, teens should be aware of their own driving abilities and limitations and know when to stop driving if they are feeling fatigued or distracted.
