Hospital medical errors now the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
New study highlights the fact that estimates in 'To Err is Human' report were low

So the moral is to stop riding your bike in the halls at the hospitals? or What?

speaking of scooters- a new Vespa is only a few bucks less than an ELIO!!!

didn't notice the top of post?
"Guarantee of Safety-lol"
Was trying to say is EVERYTHING has risk, your chance of dieing in a hospital (by accident) is higher than dieing on a bike-
El se quedo callado por el asombro!!

In UK we see roadside signs telling us how many motorcycle riders have died along that stretch. We sometimes pass one in particular that indicated three deaths in the last five years. I commented to my wife at the time that going to a National Health Service hospital for a minor operation is statistically more dangerous than riding a motorcycle along that road.

Here in Florida, at the site of many fatal accidents people plant a cross, and add flowers alongside the road. It would appear that only Christians get killed on the road, as I've never seen a Jewish Star-lol

Don't get me started on medical, um..."mistakes" . I have become a firm believer in doing my own "research!"
Maybe we should start a thread on medical mis-diagnosis...should be good for a hundred pages, or so.

I had a Helix. Great little scooter! It was the one that started the whole "maxi-scooter" craze. Rock solid reliable. I have read of people putting over 100k miles on them! Sold it about 3 years ago. I got it with 16k miles, kept it for 2 years, sold it with 28k miles and almost doubled what I paid for it. . I loved it! Just could no longer justify the personal risks.

Point taken. I'm going to write up as too late for me too in that I'm 70 . Not worth the risks. I never got to own a scooter although I had a friend who let me ride his cushman huskey. At 3 hp and a centrifugal clutch. you crouched and ducked your head so as to maybe get to 35 mph.
