The Importance of Lipase. Fats require special digestive action before absorption because the end products must be carried in a water medium (blood and lymph) in which fats are not soluble. Lipase is the primary digestant used to split fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Although little actual fat digestion occurs in the stomach, gastric lipase does digest already emulsified fats such as in egg yolk and cream. Emulsification is the real key to the proper digestion of fats.
Over 40% of fatal collisions are caused by excessive or inappropriate speed. A 5km/h difference in speed could be the difference between life and death for a vulnerable road user like a pedestrian. 1  Hit by a car at 60km/h, 9 out of 10 pedestrians will be killed.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), nearly 5,000 pedestrians die in motor vehicle-related accidents each year. While drivers are at fault in many cases, there are some cases where the pedestrian is actually the cause of the accident. Similar to motorists, pedestrians must exercise reasonable care for their own safety. The care required needs to be proportionate to the danger to be avoided and reasonably anticipated consequences.
