For example, most of the fatal snowmobile accidents in Ont ario occur on public thoroughfares and ice covered lakes and rivers. There is the important matter of a snowrnobiler's legal responsibilities, a knowledge of provincial and municipal laws and requiring insurance coverage. A snowmobile, just like an automobile, must be in good mechanical condition for safe operation. These are a few of the important facts about snowmobiling which are presented and discussed at the Ontario Snowmobile Distributors Associationdriver Snowmobile Clinics currently being conducted in communities throughout Ontario. The snowmobile is a motorized vehicle designee to travel on snow. It is uniqq:, the only one of its kind. In its natural habitat with even a modicum of common sense on the part of the operator, it has proven to be a safe and efficient means of travel. Take the snowmobile away from snow to the high hazards of hard-packed, icy roads and the proximity of motor vehicle traffic, ice covered lakes and streams or a railroad right of way and the picture changes 'drastically. Ontario Safety League statistics prove this statement. To the League's knowledge, SIXTEEN fatal snowmobile accidents occurred in Ontario during November and December, of the current season. TEN snowmobilers met their death oh public thoroughfares in collision with motor vehicles or fixed objects such as trees and rocks when their machines went out of control. FIVE snowmobilers drowned when they broke through the unsafe ice on lakes and streams. The SIXTEENTH snowmobiler was unable to stop in time to avoid smashing into the side of a moving train. Thirteen of these fatal accidents occurred during the hours of darkness. In the opinion of the Ontario Safety League, not* one of the sixteen accidents was legitimate, not one of them occurred on snow, the safe and natural habitat of the snowmobile. The Ontario Safety League reviewed causes of 10 serious tobogganing accidents in Toronto over the last 2 years and has just issued seven "never-never" rules of safe tobogganing. Earlier the League distributed a poster on Winter Sports and Traffic to elementary schools in Ontario. Stressed were the dangers of skating, skiing, tobogganing and playing hockey near or on streets and highways. A teacher's guide gave a few hints for safe tobogganing and winter fun as well. In view of the repent rash of tobogganing accidents, parents and teachers are now asked to read the following rules carefully to youngsters and to keep them in mind for themselves: Never Venture on. Dangerous, Unknown Slopes Avoid hills that lead on to the roadway, Hard-packed icy snow is impossible to . steer on. Always plan each new toboggan run, carefully checking for suspicious bumps, snow-covered ditches, logs, or trees, fences and other obstacles. Never Climb Where Others Slide Stay clear of the downhill path. Two-way traffic is not for tobogganing. Never Lay Down On a Toboggan Lying feet first on a toboggan gets you looking at the Sky when tyou should be looking straight ahead. Lying head first increases your chances of head injury. The curved front end .also impedes your vision to some extent. Get a Firm Grip But Never Tie Yourself Down Never place your feet inside the toboggan in such a way that could trap you in an emergency. Grip the provided ropes or straps but never wind them around you. Never Rush Downhill , Behind Another Sledder Give yourself time and a good distance so as to avoid colliding with those less experienced who may fall or overturn ahead of you. Never Slide With Infants Very ' young children should toboggan under adult supervision. Dart club results Individual Standing St. Fin. Pts.
