Many of you probably heard about or read about the train wreck caused by a person text message. Well - according to a magazine I get from AMSA (american medical student assoc) text messaging while walking has led to enough emergency room visits (stepping off curbs, falling down, walking into poles, etc) that the American College of Emergency Physicians has issued an alert about how dangerous it is.
There have even been injuries reported while bicycling, riding a horse adn cooking noodles. 2 texters lost their lives after being hit by cars while texting.
It seems like common sense, but I know there are a lot of us out there who text when we should be paying attention to other things. Just something to keep in mind.
