Better foam than sorry.
That’s the lesson Coma safety activists the town will embrace as part of the Wrapping Everything in Styrofoam campaign.
Coma Sheriff Paul T. Frostnib is leading the safety campaign after his squad car slid off the road and smashed into a power pole.
“There was no emergency but obviously that accident wouldn’t have been so bad if the pole was wrapped in Styrofoam,” Frostnib said.
The realization led the sheriff to push for legislation requiring wrapping Styrofoam around all poles, utilities, trees, buildings, and people within 50 feet of a roadway
“The impact of that damn pole on my department’s costly equipment has demonstrated that Styrofoam or bubble wrap is a commonsense safety solution,” Frostnib said.
Some Coma leaders weren’t so sure.
“I too support safety at all costs but requiring pedestrians to be wrapped in Styrofoam, bubble wrap or foam bumpers is going to carry an enormous environmental footprint,” said Councilwoman Natalie Peters.
Others saw additional safety issues.
“What if I’m on the side of the road when last night’s General Tso’s chicken strikes back?” said Robert McGuiness. “How do I get out of the bubble wrap to prevent a clean up in aisle my pants?” Robert McGuiness went on to say that his statement is a bad joke made to highlight how stupid it is to wrap people and trees and bubble wrap and “please don’t print my statement.” He said.
