Schrittbeschleuniger in New York

[Pollifax]

Hallo,

in New York werden bekanntermassen Inline Skates den Fahrrädern (fast) gleichgestellt, dürfen also auf Strassen fahren. Das New York State Consolidated Law beschreibt die Dinger so:


S 140-a. In-line skate. A manufactured or assembled device consisting
of an upper portion that is intended to be secured to a human foot, with
a frame or chassis attached along the length of the bottom of such upper
portion, with such frame or chassis holding two or more wheels that are
longitudinally aligned and used to skate or glide, by means of human
foot and leg power while having such device attached to each such foot
or leg. "Brake" shall mean a part which is secured to an in-line skate,
as defined in paragraph (b) of subdivision one of section three hundred
ninety-one-m of the general business law and intended to enable the user
to control his or her speed and/or come to a stop. "Warning instruc-
tion" shall mean a label, hang-tag, shield or plate with substantially
the following notice printed in clear and conspicuous type: "WARNING!
REDUCE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY, AND ONLY USE THESE SKATES WHILE WEAR-
ING FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR - HELMET, WRIST GUARDS, ELBOW PADS, AND KNEE
PADS."

S 140-b. Roller skate. A manufactured or assembled device consisting
of a frame or shoe having clamps or straps or both for fastening, with a
pair of small wheels near the toe and another pair at the heel mounted
or permanently attached thereto, for skating or gliding by means of
human foot and leg power.

Besonders nett die "Warning Instructions".
