In 1971 J. Standard Baker Quoted " Drivers Towing Trailers Are Four (4) Times As Unsafe As Those In Cars Alone!
Another month...Another precious child killed when he fell off another utility trailer with no safety rails or standards. We simply ask how many more vigil's do we need to endure before we have an honest discussion on unsafe hayrides and parades in the United States?
Let's take a moment and look at the facts "A Utility Trailer Was Never Designed To Carry People". Going a step further the wheels of the trailer are placed outside the frame of the trailer and when people are sitting or standing on the trailer when they fall off they fall in a direct line of the wheels and they are run over.
Our Organization time and time again have continually sent alerts, e mails and called various news and political leaders all over the United States and the world. Our organization even got the attention of the National Transportation Safety Board way back in 2014 in which it is obvious to our organization nobody has taken the information to heart.
We quickly went into action and e mailed this preventable incident all over the United States and once again nobody took our recommendations seriously.

So we cannot stress enough do you see a pattern here? In November we will have unsafe parades and hayrides for Thanksgiving right?
Then comes all these unsafe Christmas and New Years Day Parades......and we predict at least 4 more preventable deaths will occur......
Why is nobody except us trying to save these lives? Don't you find it strange?
When will all of these Vigil's results in a Unified Nationwide Safety Standard For All Parades? We are ready to help!i

STANTON, Mich. (AP) — A central Michigan community is remembering an 8-year-old boy who died after falling from a trailer carrying children during Halloween trick-or-treating.
WZZM-TV reports that a candlelight vigil for Brady James Sexton was scheduled to start at 6 p.m. Sunday along Stanton's E. Main Street.
