Paramedics are the most advanced field medical technicians that respond to and treat any medical emergency. They are constantly evolving their equipment and techniques to provide care. In the 1960s, reports showed many Americans were dying from accidents without proper emergency care, leading to the development of EMT training programs. Becoming a paramedic requires initial EMT certification, followed by a two-year paramedic program. Paramedics face hazards like traffic accidents and assaults while helping patients. Their role is expanding through new technologies like ultrasound and work as flight paramedics to transport patients more quickly to hospitals.

3) New technologies like autonomous emergency braking show promise in avoiding crashes and reducing collision speeds, which can help minimize pedestrian injuries when crashes do occur.
CIREN_Brain Injury Paper Published
This study used data from the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) database to analyze the influence of damage distribution across the frontal plane on serious brain injuries in occupants involved in frontal motor vehicle crashes. The study identified occupants in frontal impacts classified as distributed, offset, or extreme offset (corner) impacts based on the percentage of damage across the frontal plane. The results showed that overall, there was no significant difference in brain injury severity based on the type of impact distribution. However, for distributed and offset impacts specifically, safety belt use was found to be protective against more severe brain injuries. Intrusion at the occupant's seat was also associated with more severe brain injuries in distributed impacts.
Occupational Road Safety by NOISH
This document summarizes occupational road safety issues in the U.S. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of occupational fatalities, with around 1,400 single-vehicle and 350 multi-vehicle crashes on public roads annually. Data is lacking on non-fatal crashes and commuting incidents. Regulations focus more on large truck safety than pedestrian safety. Driving for work brings jurisdictional issues as roadways can be considered workplaces. Coordinated efforts between occupational safety and transportation agencies are recommended, as well as more research demonstrating the value of road safety programs in organizations.

2015 HPVC West - Innovation Report - Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
This document describes the development of a rollover detection and visual warning system for a human-powered vehicle called Sweet Phoenix. The system uses an accelerometer and gyroscope to measure the vehicle's lateral acceleration and tilt. It then calculates the maximum safe lateral acceleration before rollover and compares it to the current acceleration to determine the rollover risk level. Colored LEDs indicate the risk level to riders. Testing will validate that the system accurately models Sweet Phoenix's rollover characteristics to warn riders before loss of control. The low-cost system could improve safety and expand use of human-powered vehicles.

When an incident occurs at a facility, it is important to have an emergency response plan, business continuity plan, and disaster recovery plan in place to manage the situation. The emergency response plan should train staff on emergency procedures and share plans with public services. The business continuity plan should address investigations, family contacts, brand reputation, and media requests. The disaster recovery plan focuses on new prevention measures, credibility with authorities and customers, brand image, and insurance compensation. When an incident occurs at another facility, it is best not to comment and instead direct media to professional organizations to avoid risks to brand reputation.

Crisis management procedures must be understood and practiced by the crisis management team. When a crisis occurs, the team has a limited time to become operational for on-site management, communication with corporate leadership, and addressing media inquiries. Effective crisis response requires having close relationships and contacts established in advance with relevant stakeholders, acting quickly with a large team, and focusing on disseminating truthful facts to end the crisis. A crisis can engulf an entire organization, so all levels must be prepared to respond rapidly under immense pressure.

Five golden rules for designing and operating a successful business are: seek fresh talent, be open to change, keep creativity alive at all costs, invite strangers and set up decoys, and ignore customers. Management should build the capability to recover from failures rather than prevent risks. Success requires investing in new, unique ideas and maintaining an innovative culture.

The document discusses authenticity and attractions in the experience industry. It outlines how economic value has progressed from extracting commodities to delivering experiences. It provides three rules for authenticity - be authentic, say you're authentic, and it's easier to be authentic. Authenticity is defined through various genres and should not be defined through what it is not. Attractions can achieve authenticity through their venues, rides, and encounters by being true to themselves and what they say they are.

The document discusses the introduction and results of the first year of the European Ride Safety Reporting System. It was established in 2005 in response to a lack of injury reporting across Europe. In the first year, 25% of estimated 300 parks participated, reporting 228 minor injuries and 17 serious injuries over 38 million visits. The risk of a minor injury was calculated to be one per million rides taken. The system founders agreed not to proactively circulate the first year report and to improve participation and the questionnaire for the second year.

The goal is to take a new, regulated approach to ride safety in Italy based on standards from other countries like the UK.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
