Manitoba Public Insurance says off-road vehicle injuries involving kids on rise
Manitoba Public Insurance is urging young Manitobans to be careful when riding off-road vehicles (ORVs), after new data collected by the Crown corporation shows that 80-100 young patients involved in ORV accidents are taken to Winnipeg's Children's Hospital annually. Matt Wiebe, the province's justice minister, says young riders should always be supervised by a parent or guardian, and that ORV users — of all ages — should be wearing a helmet every time they hit the trails. 'Like many Manitobans, I am an avid ORV rider,' Wiebe said, 'and part of being a responsible rider is knowing how quickly and tragically things can go wrong when these vehicles are misused. 'Our government is committed to raising awareness for ORV safety and helping to prevent tragedies, especially the loss of young lives.' The number of kids hurt in incidents with ORVs continues to climb, according to MPI's data, with an increasing number of young riders ending up in emergency rooms with severe and/or life-altering injuries. Story continues below advertisement According to MPI, boys between the ages of 14-16 are suffering the most severe injuries — particularly on weekends in June, July and August.

Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy A total of 12 people have been killed in ORV-related accidents in Manitoba over the past five years, with 633 children visiting the Children's Hospital ER in connection with these incidents since 2011. Dr. Lynn Warda, a Winnipeg pediatric emergency physician, said Wednesday that Children's Hospital, as the only trauma centre for children in Manitoba, sees the worst of ORV cases from across the province. 'ORV injuries are some of the most serious injuries we see. The speed and size of the vehicle leads to high impact collisions and rollovers, so the riders often have multiple injuries. 'This might include a head injury, broken bones, and lacerations, some needing surgery or admission to hospital. These injuries can lead to long-term disability when the head or spine is injured.' Young people between 14-16 can legally ride on ORVs, MPI said, but they must be supervised and accompanied by a parent or someone else over 18. Anyone 15-and-a-half or older with a valid learner stage driver's licence can operate an ORV without supervision, but there are some restrictions.

Landing the Future, Reusable Launch Vehicles Redefine the Economics of Space
An RLV (Reusable Launch Vehicle) is a launch vehicle that can be launched more than once as it is made to return to Earth largely undamaged, or it may contain vehicle stages that a launch operator can retrieve for use in the operation of a substantially similar launch vehicle in the future. The reusable launch vehicle market is receiving the impetus from both the increasing public funding of space exploration, growing demand for rapid and low-cost access to space, the development of next generation vehicles, growing demand for space services, and continuing technology improvements, particularly in reusable rocket engines. Key Growth Drivers and Opportunities Soaring Space Economy The growth of reusable launch vehicle market is primarily tied to the burgeoning space economy, which is projected to hit trillions in value over the next couple of decades. Currently, there is an increasing demand for regular and comparatively cheaper access to space as the commercial space economy moves toward reality with satellite broadband, space tourism, lunar exploration, asteroid mining, in-orbit manufacturing and the like. Reusable launch vehicle will directly support this growth with a shorter turnaround time between missions, as well as a dramatic decrease in cost per launch that will increase the accessibility and sustainability of space operations. Challenges Despite the potential of the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) market being promising, there are limitations. The high initial socio-economic cost of development, engineering and safety challenges of multiple flight opinions, and the very limited refurbishment infrastructure are significant barriers. Additionally, there are regulatory considerations and infrastructure constraints, profound uncertainties, and with the market evolving and being ultimately owned by 2 to 3 players, they are the gatekeepers with their unique business models. Innovation and Expansion Nagpur Startup Ignites Reusable Rocket Revolution In April 2025, Spaceverse Technologies, a Nagpur-based start-up, is currently constructing what they claim to be India's first privately produced reusable satellite launch vehicle. According to Shishir Arya of TOI, S Technologies' reusable satellite launch vehicle features a unique design that allows it to take off vertically and return to Earth horizontally, comparable to an aircraft. This innovative space technology venture represents a significant milestone in India's growing private space sector and demonstrates the country's emerging capabilities in developing advanced space launch systems. Innovations in Reusable Launch Technology In March 2025, ISRO is working on a winged body Orbital Re-entry Vehicle (ORV) to further India's reusable launch vehicle technology. The ORV will be sent into orbit with an ascent vehicle and then re-enter the earth's atmosphere for an autonomous approach and runway landing. The reliability of the onboard autonomous navigation, guidance, and control system has been confirmed by the successful completion of three autonomous runway landing experiments on a Reusable Launch Vehicle-Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD). Inventive Sparks, Expanding Markets BLUE ORIGIN, GILMIPAL SPACE TECHNOLOGIES, illetig and launching, SPACEX, ARIANEGROUP, and others are all leaders in the reusable launch vehicle sector. Key activities for reusable launch vehicle companies include development of technologies that allow for reusability, allowing them to launch more rapidly and reduce launch prices, obtaining government and commercial contracts to sustain revenue, and streamlining efficiency and control of quality through vertical manufacturing integration.

Why low-flying planes will be in the area this month
(WKBN) – Rabies baits will be dropped from the sky this month as part of a vaccination effort targeting wildlife. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Wildlife Services, in collaboration with the Ohio Department of Health and county health departments, are distributing the oral rabies vaccines (ORV) to targeted wild animals, such as raccoons, that eat the baits and are then vaccinated against rabies. ORV baits are distributed using small airplanes and helicopters from the air and vehicles on the ground. Throughout the month of May, approximately 744,300 ORV baits will be distributed in eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. Those in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties may see low-flying airplanes or helicopters distributing the baits from May 12-24. Distribution by vehicles will be in Hubbard, Salem, Warren and Youngstown. Past information provided by the USDA on the drops has stated that the baits are safe if pets get into them, but people are told to leave them undisturbed, if possible. If a pet eats several baits, it is possible that they will cause some vomiting and diarrhea. More information on the program is available on the USDA's website. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
