One month ago, New York injury lawyers cautioned our readers to enjoy the snow, but under safe and controlled conditions. Beside warning of the typical sidewalk
slip and fall on ice, we specifically cautioned NY adventure-seekers against the risk of
snowmobile injuries, as drivers transverse steep hills and unknown surfaces in conditions that provide poor-visibility. Slip, falls, and rollovers can cause serious injury.
NY State troopers reported that a 43-year old man went flying off his snowmobile Friday night, after hitting an unexpected mound. The man suffered a back injury and required hospitalization. Most disturbing is the fact that CNY Snow Travelers had specifically warned snowmobile drivers not to travel the C7 route due to weather conditions. Please avoid a
got hurt NY injury by respecting rangers, weather reports and warning signs. Enjoy the snow -- under control. Waterville NY snowmobile riders can track ongoing trail updates at
CNY's Trail News & Updates section.
