Skateboard Accidents Rise As
Sport Grows In Popularity
Time was when kids
eagerly awaited warm
weather so they could take a
dip in the old swimming hole.
"Now the thing to do is grab a
skateboard,” says Dr. Lillian
Warnick of the Georgia
Department of Human Re
sources (DHR).
“Nationwide skateboard
accidents are on the rise;
over three times what they
were last year. In 1975 a
national sample of 119
selected hospitals, four of
which were in Georgia,
showed that skateboards
were the cause of 27,522
injuries requiring hospital
treatment.”
Shattered bones in the
wrist and elbow have become
so common that doctors now
call such injuries “skate
board elbow.” According to
the Product Safety Commis
sion, nearly one-third of
skateboard injuries involve
bone fracture.
Skateboards are capable of
high speeds and a fall can
result in severe injury. Even
at slow speeds the rider
generally falls with more
force than normal because as
the skateboard skits away it
throws the rider to the
ground. Severe spinal, leg or
head injuries are frequent.
Skinned hands, backs and
knees are every day injuries.
At most professional events
the riders wear helmets,
gloves, elbow and knee pads
and heavy clothing for
protection.
The novice should learn
slowly how to balance on the
board and how to control the
board before attempting any
stunts. “Even for the
experienced rider a skate
board can be very treach
erous,” says Dr. Warnick.
The beginning rider should
never try to jump off a
skateboard at a speed faster
than he can run (about six
miles per hour). There is no
way to stop a skateboard at a
higher speed other than to
weave sharply from side to
side.
A skateboard generally
will turn so quickly that it is
better to try to go around an
obstacle than to try to stop it.
All skateboard riders should
know how to fall on a hard
surface and how to roll
before trying a speed run.
There will be times when an
obstacle can’t be avoided and
the board can’t be stopped.
Dr. Warnick advises the
novice to start with a good
quality skateboard on a level,
clean, wide-paved area such
as an unused parking lot.
Push along with one foot and
learn to balance and ma
neuver the board slowly.
Stand as you would on a
surfboard, either with the
toes to one side or with the
feet pointing ahead, together.
With the toes to one side,
control is easier for most
people. Balance the weight

eveniy with one foot over
each wheel assembly. Shift
the weight to the toes to turn
one way and to the heels to
turn the other way. Shifting
the weight to the rear lifts the
front off the ground slightly
for sharper turns.
Learn well how to guide the
skateboard on a flat surface
before you start riding down
hill. Begin practice coming
down hill on a slight slope. Go
slowly until you gain ability.
Do not try riding down steep
hills or doing stunts beyond
your capability.
“The largest danger factor
is riding the skateboard even
at low speeds in unsafe
places, especially on neigh
borhood streets where there
is any kind of traffic,” says
Dr. Warnick. At high speeds
there is little, if any,
accurate control. The rider
can be under the car before
he knows what has happened.
Also skateboard riders are
very hard for the average
driver to see and avoid.
Odds On
The odds for any par
ticular woman to give birth
to twins at a particular time
are one in 87. The odds
against a bridge player
being dealt a hand con
taining six cards of one suit,
four of another, two of a
third and one of a fourth are
about 20 to 1. Among 10
people the probability is one
to 10 that two of them will
have the same birthday;
among 25 people, the
probability is five to 10.

NATIONAL REPENTANCE
This slogan appeared on an
outdoor bulletin board on a
church lawn some time ago:
“In case of atomic war this
church will be open for
prayer. However, it will be
too late then, so why not
come next Sunday?”
What would you do if you
heard on your radio that your
city was the target for an
atom bomb already launched
halfway around the world
which would blast you to
eternity in ten minutes?
Three places would im
mediately be jammed with
people: (1) the highways
choked with cars trying to
get away; (2) the cellars
crammed with people seek
ing shelter from the blast;
and (3) the churches packed
with people trying to pray.
Let us sincerely hope that
this never happens! Indeed,
it will not happen if our
nation and v our world will
kneel before God now and
repent, and beg His forgive
ness -much as we would if we
knew we had ten minutes to
live.
What a wonderful spec
tacle it would be to see our
nation on its knees out of pure
love for God and His work!
What a joy it would be to hear
our national leader call us to
prayer daily, and set the
example before us! To know
that our legislators have an
old-fashioned prayer meet
ing before work each
morning! To discover that
each local official kneels for
prayer each day! To find that
each school, club, labor
union, and business estab
lishment prays at the
beginning of the day! Is
anything more important
than national repentance
today?

Thus, a word of advice:
before you become a senior
citizen, before you retire, do
some serious thinking and
planning toward that even
tuality. It happens to each
and every one of us. The
man and woman who have
worked and who have given
for a lifetime deserve only
the happiest of retirement
