一位墨尔本妇女在驾驶越野四轮摩托车时发生事故而死亡，由此引发了加速推进在越野四轮摩托车上实施更加严格的安全标准。
10月11日，Callaghan女士在新西兰的一次冒险之旅上从她驾驶的越野四轮摩托车上被甩了出来导致严重的头部创伤而死亡。
这使得今年在澳洲因为驾驶越野四轮摩托车而死亡的人数达到了14人。目前估计在懊洲全国范围内，大约有22万辆越野四轮摩托车正在使用中。
增加的致死数据已经激发了相关部门为了提高越野四轮摩托车的安全性而展开了调查。
国家农业从业人员联邦工作联系委员会的主席Charles Armstrong号召越野四轮摩托车制造商在所有新生产的越野四轮摩托车中加入经过认证和批准的碰撞保护安全设备或者在销售点试着解决由窒息而引起的意外事故。由窒息而导致的死亡占到了由越野四轮摩托车所导致的死亡事故的40％。
他说：＂制造商在越野四轮摩托车中配备碰撞保护安全设备的时候到了。＂

Quad bike death
safety alarm
THE death of a Melbourne
woman following a quad
bike accident has ramped
up the push for stricter
safety standards for allterrain vehicles.
Calls for quad bikes also
known as all-terrain vehicles
or ATVs to be fitted with
mandatory crush protection
devices are being echoed by
industry leaders following
the death of 38-year-old
Chelsey Callaghan on the
weekend.
Ms Callaghan suffered
serious head injuries when
she became dislodged from
the quad bike she was driving during an adventure
tour in New Zealand on
October 11.
The death raises the number of Australian fatalities
relating to ATVs to 14 people this year. There are an
estimated 220,000 quad
bikes in use nationwide.
The escalating figure has
prompted authorities to
demand an examination
into ways to improve quad
bike safety.
Charles Armstrong, chairman of the National Farmers'
Federation workplace relations committee, called for
manufacturers to fit all new
quad bikes with an approved
crush protection device or at
point of sale to combat asphyxiation incidents, which
accounted for 40 per cent of
ATV-related fatalities.
"The time has certainly
arrived for manufactures to
have crush protection devices." he said. |
