142) Hospital statistics regarding people who go to the emergency room after roller-skating accidents indicate the need for more protective equipment. Within that group of people, 75 percent of those who had accidents in streets or parking lots had not been wearing any protective clothing (helmets, knee pads, etc.) or any light-reflecting material (clip-on lights, glow-in-the-dark wrist pads, etc.). Clearly, the statistics indicate that by investing in high-quality protective gear and reflective equipment, roller skaters will greatly reduce their risk of being severely injured in an accident.
Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.

1.The author gives no information about how the hospital statistics are collected, thus he cannot base on it to reach any credible conclusions.

2.The author fails to compare the severity of accidents between roller-skaters wearing the protective equipment with those who had not been wearing, thus we cannot judge that the protective equipment really play roles in preventing them from injuring.

3.The fact that skating in streets or parking lots is dangerous to begin with may be the major reason for the high rate of accidents in these places, regardless of the protective equipment.

4.The statistics collected in streets and parking lots are not representative of overall situations of roller-skaters.

5.There are many other factors influencing the incidence of accidents in streets or parking lots besides the author’s consideration.

6.The author fails to consider that only by investing in highly-quality protective gear and reflective equipment is insufficient to reduce the risk of being severely injured in an accident.
