News Week of June 3, 2013
Posted: June 7, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Cycling, Defendant, Jim Moss, Risk Management, Rock climbing, Summary judgment Leave a commentUpdate on what is happening outside with a legal and risk management slant
Legal
Minors and Releases
PowerPoint presentation I gave on the legal issues of minor’s and releases. Where can a parent sign away a minor’s right to sue and where that will not work.
Good News ASI was dismissed from the lawsuit
Bad news, the post-accident investigation proved the college was negligent according to the court.
This is a follow-up to the article, I wrote Bad luck or about time, however, you look at this decision, you will change the way you work in the Outdoor Recreation Industry. The original article was about a motion to dismiss which the defendant safety audit company lost.
This article is the result of a motion for summary judgment filed on behalf of the defendant auditor which the court granted.
Paddlesports
Chart if you don’t know.
Infographic: How to pick the perfect campsite on a paddling trip. Of course you missed dinner and got attached by bugs by the time you followed this. Memorize it and enjoy the trip.
Cycling
Cycling v. Smoking
Cyclists don’t get sick, smokers cost employers $5.8 K a year $3K in lost time and $2K in health care costs.
Infographic title is The complete guide to interval training. Graphic helps you choose which types of training and why.
Bike share programs work
Does bike share programs work. This infographic would seem to indicate it does. Although no city has the breath of Paris, it is amazing how successful the program is in many US cities.
Bike commuting is growing in the US
Infographic of where bike commuting is growing. Portland of course is through the roof, 443%, San Fran at 258% is impressive. There are a lot of places with large growth that the whole concept would seem to be foreign. Looking good.
Whose city is it?
Video of a man who is determined to stop bike theft in NYC. How, he buys and installs his own bike rack on the sidewalk. This is awesome. He dresses up, puts out cones and everyone ignores him because he looks like a city worker.
But he got caught and had to remove it. This is the stupid part. A perfectly good bike rack has to be removed because it probably is not on some city bureaucrat’s planning map.
Cycling saves money
Study out of the #UK shows that people who commute to work by bike have half the sick days. Cyclists have 2.4 sick days per year compared to the national average of 4.5 sick days.
Bike shop owners are old white males
Bike shop owners are white males
NBDA (National Bicycle Dealers Association) report shows that “89% of bike shop owners are men, 96% are white, 66% are baby boomers (age 48 to 67) and 26% Gen X (age 26-47).”
Cycling is Growing
However growth is in the women and minorities community! “League of American Bicyclists and the Sierra Club also reports that people of color are playing a key role in shifting transportation demand toward safer, more equitable and more accessible bicycling in their communities.”
Mountaineering
New National Alpine Club being formed in Kazakh
New Alpine club is being formed, the Kazakh Alpine Club. In most European countries alpine clubs hold a lot of power, some are supported by their governments.
Environment
Beautiful surf shots….if you can ignore the ocean pollution.
Golf Courses going Green
Golf courses are recognizing they are green oasis and working to be better at protecting our world. They are saving money doing it also.
Google Street View finds the Galapagos
#Google street view finds the Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos are extremely fragile and over run. Will this help or hurt?
Private effort to create massive park
Money raising is on-going to create the largest park in the US. The 500,000 acre American Prairie Reserve has raised 20% of the funding and received several gifts of land. The plan is to put a large segment of the US prairie back to what it was.
This a very interesting article on many fronts
The main story is a woman fell hiking in the Pyrenees mountains of France. She fell over 1000’. When rescuers found her body it had been devoured by vultures, Bones, clothes and shoes were the only thing left.
Why is just as interesting. Because of mad cow disease, all dead livestock must be incinerated. Vultures are finding it difficult to feed with no livestock carcasses.
Another result is the vultures are attacking animals now and farmers are saying they should be killed for threatening livestock. As well as the vultures are spreading their range across Europe and being found in areas they did not formerly habitat.
