Injury is the lead- ing cause of death in peo- ple under age 44. Injury —� kills more children under 19 than all other causes combined. There is much work. to be done. ` The major task is to create a shift in thinking. We know that when most injuries are investigated, they are no "accidents." A cause can be found and the event was predictable. We need this ~ shift in thinking to take control by creating as safe an envi- ronment as possible. kIPII'C has subcommit- tees for the four areas of concern: motor vehicle occupant safety,. bicycle safety, falls in seniors and arm safety: The Motor Vehicle Occupant Subcommittee is currently planning a major .
