«Cash investments in the United States, it's backed by the FDIC so you have limits on your
potential for loss, but this is an
area that's totally unregulated, and is not only subject to that
problem but is subject to theft, subject to misrepresentation, and
other types of fraud» said Iowa Insurance Division Commissioner Doug Omen.
School grounds should be inspected for
potential hazards such as: • Verandah poles outside doorways, in thoroughfares or in situations where students are unlikely to see them, especially while running; • Steps and changes in level which are poorly proportioned, difficult to see or lack handrails; • Fencing, gates and railings which students climb and which have structural
problems, sharp protrusions, splinters or
other hazards; • Trip hazards at ground level — protruding drainage pit covers, irregular paving, cracks or tree roots in thoroughfares, broken off post or
other remnants of old structures; • Loose gravely surfaces on slopes and where students run; • Slippery patches which may stay damp in winter; • Rocks which students can fall onto or throw around; • Embankments which students can slip down or which have protruding sharp objects; • Blind corners in busy
areas; taps and hoses which are positioned where students play or walk; window glass at low levels through which students could fall; • Holes, cracks or exposed irrigation fixtures in ovals; • Trees or shrubs with poisonous parts, sharp spikes or thorns or branches at eye level; • Splinters and deteriorating timbers in seats, retaining edges and other wooden constructions; • sSeds or other areas with hazardous chemicals or machinery to which students have access; rubbish skips which students can climb into or around, or which place students at risk when trucks enter the school; • Areas within the site used for car parking when students are present; and, • Sporting equipment such as goal posts or basketball rings which have structural or other design or maintenance prob

These researchers might be (in my opinion) prematurely optimistic about the
potentials of VAMs contrary to what aproximately 90 % of the empirical research in this
area would support; these scholars might use methods that over-simplistically approach very complex
problems and accordingly make often sweeping, unwarranted, and perhaps invalid assertions regardless; these folks might have financial or
other vested interests in the VAMs being adopted and implemented; or the like.
