There is a critical lesson to be learned from tragic incidents which result in snowmobile-related drownings. The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) is making another public appeal for snowmobilers to stay off frozen lakes and rivers, especially after dark. "With media help, the OFSC has been broadcasting this message province-wide throughout the winter," states Director of Marketing John Blaicher. "There is no safe and sure way to predict ice conditions. Ice can even vary in strength from one location in the same lake to another, so the only certainty is to avoid crossing frozen waterways whenever possible." To promote safe, responsible snowmobiling, the OFSC 2) i vd 4 message is getting through to the vast majority of our members." Statistics indicate that a small minority of snowmobiling fatalities occur on OFSC trails, where 90 per cent of snowmobiling occurs. This means that a disproportionately large number of fatalities occur off trail - primarily on roads and highways, and on frozen waterways. The OFSC strongly advocates that snowmobilers join a club, taking a Driver Training course, familiarize themselves with safety and i, survival techniques. Above all, stay on trails groomed and markedby local clubs, and Know Before You Go. "Snowmobiling has a proven track record as a safe winter sport for those who reduce and its safety partners have mounted a $500,000 campaign called SledSmart. - . Through print and electronic media messages and safety tips, it addresses the high risk snowmobiling behaviours identified by the Ontario Snowmobile Safety Committee as contributing factors to most fatalities, particularly among 18 to 35-year-old males. Among them are ice travel, snowmobiling at night, alcohol consumption, sped and off-trail riding. "There are an estimated 250,000 snowmobilers in Ontario who ride more often and further than ever before," notes OFSC General Manager Ron Purchase. "Yet despite these dramatically higher participation and user frequency rates, snowmobiling fatalities have remained comparatively static from year to year, so the OFSC is confident that our safety high risk behaviour by riding sober on groomed trails at --. moderate speeds in < daylight hours," says OFSC President Bert A. Grant. "Viewed from the broader perspective, drownings are preventable incidents resulting from poor choices and unnecessary risks. All snowmobilers should no more be painted negatively as a result than should all motorists because there are highway accidents." The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs is committed to promoting safe, responsible riding on Ontario snowmobile trails by continuously improving safety standards, programs and enforcement through proactive leadership, stakeholder partnerships, public education and driver safety.
