A man was seriously injured Friday while snowmobiling on a trail in Clarksville, New Hampshire, and authorities say inexperience is to blame.
New Hampshire Fish and Game said rescue personnel responded to the area of Trail 21, near Creampoke Road, after receiving a 911 call around 4:30 p.m. for a report of male who had crashed his snowmobile into a small group of trees.
The operator, identified as 65-year-old Marc Labrecque, of Plaistow, NH, was taken to Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital with serious injuries, but he is expected to be OK, officials said. A preliminary investigation revealed that Labrecque failed to negotiate a section of the trail that went from open field to a small opening in a tree line.Labrecque told officials that he had not ridden a snowmobile in 55 years.

Variety and quantity of dietary insoluble fiber intake from different sources and risk of new-onset hypertension - BMC MedicineBackground The relations of the variety and quantity of different sources of dietary insoluble fibers and hypertension remain uncertain. We aimed to investigate the associations between the variety and quantity of insoluble fibers intake from six major food sources and new-onset hypertension, using data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). Methods Twelve thousand one hundred thirty-one participants without hypertension at baseline from CHNS were included. Dietary intake was measured by three consecutive 24-h dietary recalls combined with a household food inventory. The variety score of insoluble fiber sources was defined as the number of insoluble fiber sources consumed at the appropriate level, accounting for both types and quantities of insoluble fibers. The study outcome was new-onset hypertension, defined as blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg, or physician-diagnosed hypertension or receiving antihypertensive treatments during the follow-up. Results During a median follow-up of 6.1 years, 4252 participants developed hypertension. There were L-shaped associations of dietary insoluble fibers derived from vegetables, beans, tubers, and fruits with new-onset hypertension; a reversed J-shaped association of whole grain-derived insoluble fiber with new-onset hypertension; and no obvious association of refined grain-derived insoluble fiber with new-onset hypertension. Therefore, refined grain was not included in the insoluble fiber variety score calculation. More importantly, a higher insoluble fiber variety score was significantly associated with lower risks of new-onset hypertension (per score increment, hazard ratio, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.45–0.55). Conclusions There was an inverse association between the variety of insoluble fibers with appropriate quantity from different food sources and new-onset hypertension.
