Press Review
I read an article the other day at the online version of „www.austriantimes.at“ and it talks about a campaign to encourage skiers to wear helmets.
Basically what it says is that the People’s Party said that there is no legislation forcing skiers to wear helmets would get through the provincial parliament.
It is also mentioned that Christian Raschner from the Institute for Sport Science said that 68 per cent of the Tyrol told that helmets were no disadvantage for them. Even more than 50 per cent already used them. In Upper Austria children aged 15 and under must wear helmets to go skiing or snowboarding. As far for me is that the parents are responsible for their children.
The Committee for Traffic Safety announced that 56,000 of nine or ten million people skiing or snowboarding on Austrian slopes will end up in hospital.
In my opinion it is good to wear helmets especially for the children because there happen so many accidents on the slopes.
Vocabulary:
legislation (Gesetzgebung) = There are different legislations to tell the people what they mustn’t do.
to force (zwingen) = For example you force somebody to help you with the housework.
