Safety

     A report released today includes a state-by-state report card on safety issues....for example, states get good grades for requiring motorcycle helmets and seat belts (New Hampshire is the only state without a primary or secondary seat-belt law!)
     It is a very thorough and lengthy report, but filled with interesting data about how we hurt ourselves and what actions can protect us.
     The report concludes:

Thousands of injuries could be prevented and
billions of dollars could be saved in medical costs
each year with the wider implementation of research-based policies and an increased investment
in programs, enforcement and public education.
