A reminder to stay safe on the streets as a pedestrian!🚶♂️ With summer just around the corner, it’s important to stay proactive to keep yourself safe! According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), thousands of pedestrians are injured or killed in traffic accidents each year. The lack of protection compared to vehicle occupants means that pedestrians are more likely to suffer severe injuries in the event of a collision.

To prove a road rage accident, you need more than just your word. Provide evidence, such as eyewitnesses and surveillance camera recordings. The more evidence you have, the clearer the picture becomes. #evidence #accident #roadrage #personalinjurylawyer

Thanks for sharing this insightful article DEFCONSERVICES and I totally agree with your comments. As the UK & Irish distributor of Bolawrap, I still don't understand (and even more so after reading this article!), why Bolawrap isn't already approved for use and on a Police Officers duty belt. It is not meant to replace Taser or any other use of force tools the Police already have available. But is will give officers the ability to restrain and de-escalate a non-complying or violent subject from a safe distance by restricting their legs or arms so they can't run towards or away from you, without the need to hurt them (Very important for a number of reasons when someone is in a mental health crisis). The loud bang distracts you, and with the correct training from the team at WRAP, you learn how to quickly follow up and apply hand-cuffs before the person really knows what's going on. You also don't have the issue where Taser isn't effective all the time when someone is wearing thick clothing or many layers, in fact Bolawrap typically works well in that situation, so please give our UK & Irish Police officers the tools to deal with these types of incidents. I've personally been double-wrapped and deployed a double wrap in training. It doesn't hurt, it certainly distracts you, and I certainly wouldn't be running towards an officer or member of the public to assault them. It doesn't always require pain compliance to safely de-escalate a situation, so if you are the less-lethal lead for your Police Force and would like a demo, please get in touch with me here or via sales@emergencyprotection.co.uk #bolawrap #wrap #nonlethal #lesslethal #police #policing #saferrestraint #responsepolicing #government #homesecretary #policefederation #collegeofpolicing #mentalhealthcrisis #deescalation #emergencyprotection #policeofficer #militarypolice #MOD

An interesting reading dated 2019 that will make you thoroughly think why #Bolawrap should be the tool that every LEO should have on the duty belt as soon as possible. The restraint device developed by Wrap is the only #NONLETHAL option that can protect the user and subdue the subject without relying on pain. #Observe #Think #Act

Always document every detail at the scene of a car crash: Take photos of the damage, the road, and any skid marks. Note the weather, road names, and any admissions by the other party. This personal record is crucial to compare with the police report. #AccidentTips #LegalAdvice #SLG #SpringsLawGroup

Such a Tragedy. LSM TrainSense® (Int. pat. pend.) https://lnkd.in/gbp7ZH_p effectively minimises human error, behaviour and environmental (sun, night, foliage cover) related issues. LSM TrainSense® provides audible and visual alerts within the driver's cabin well before the crossing and can initiate vehicle deceleration, braking, or automatic braking (AEB) if warnings are ignored. #levelcrossingsafety #levelcrossinghealth #trainsense #bridgesense #bridgeengineering #bridgeimpact #bridgecollision #teamlsm #railwaysafety #railsafety #railsafetygroups #railwaysafetydevices #technology #innovation #creativity #safetyandhealth

Did you know that EVERY intersection in Oregon is considered a crosswalk, even if there are no markings? Our Traffic Safety Unit recently held a pedestrian safety enforcement to help spread education and awareness around this issue. We sent out a news release ahead of time and put road signs up on the day of the enforcement to give drivers plenty of notice. We also put cones up to mark perception/reaction time given the posted speed limit, then we have a pedestrian cross the street who flags an officer if a driver doesn't stop. During our enforcement, we gave warnings to 43 people and issued tickets to 7 people. This is important education because pedestrian deaths in traffic crashes are on the rise. According to NHTSA, 7,388 pedestrians were killed in US traffic crashes in 2021 - the highest number since 1981. In Oregon alone, pedestrians accounted for 14.5% of all traffic crash deaths in 2021.

Safe System Snippet - Police Vehicle Crashes A MUARC study from NSW shows that 55.2% of emergency vehicle collisions involve police cars, compared to 10.9% for ambulances and 4.8% for fire brigade vehicles. Police duties often involve unpredictable high-speed manoeuvres, placing drivers at unique risk. Specialist training helps mitigate this, but according to the study, fatigue and distraction may contribute.    Some possible ways to reduce the risk include:  - Optimising work schedules to combat fatigue.  - Designing intuitive vehicle equipment to minimize distractions.  - Prioritising crashworthiness to enhance occupant safety.    The study did not investigate exposure, so comparing police crashes against general driving crashes is not possible.    Check out the details of the study here: https://lnkd.in/g46ejjba   ------------- Find this and more Safe System Snippets on our website- https://lnkd.in/g2khVTy    Follow us on LinkedIn Safe System Solutions Pty Ltd.     #roadsafety #trafficsafety #safesystem #SafeSystemSnippet
