Safety Crusaders: no capes, just ordinary folks

Safety Crusaders, as selected by Consumers Reports in its Safety Blog include some surprising pioneering work by ordinary folks across North America... their exceptional acts of bravery to save others from harm:

• Mom fighting to keep amusement park rides from killing or injurying thrillseekers.
•  Father-and-daughter lead jewellry sleuthing team
• Grieving mother who dreams of "“a day when children swimming in a pool without four-sided barrier fencing and with drain systems capable of pinning a child underwater would be just as unthinkable as children riding in a car without car seats."
• Senior man running the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute out of his home.

We've written about our own safety crusaders/champions in this blog before, such as:

• Mom Shirley Hickman who turns her son's death working with a Zamboni machine into a nationwide peer-support service for other families.
• Corporate leaders like Ontario Hydro CEO Laura Formusa who send employees to talk to high school students about workplace safety.
