The very word conjures up images of cookouts, camping, boating, hiking, sleeping in the hammock, and travelling to new and exciting places.
Summer can also be a time of hazards as well.
With the possible exception of sleeping in the hammock, all of the activities listed above can turn into disaster in the wink of an eye. According to the National Safety Council, May, June, July, and August are the most likely months for drowning and automobile accidents. But it does not have to be this way. A few simple reminders, if followed, will insure that you and your family will enjoy many more summers. Know your equipment.
