Show transcript0:07First, we have a very special piece to share with you this morning, one that Tracy put together earlier this week to bring us up to date on the topic that is really near and dear to her heart.0:15Oh, Jim, that's so true. I feel so strongly about the issue of flying debris, and it's my hope that after viewing this segment that you'll feel just as strongly about it too.0:26So let's take a look.0:30This is Karen Stillwell, wife, mother of 3, and my best friend in high school.0:36In 2003, she died from the effects of flying debris. Karen ate well and exercised regularly, but that couldn't protect her from the errant piece of wood that struck her in the forehead while she was water skiing.0:49After Karen died, I made it my mission to ensure that nobody needlessly loses a friend to windborne rubble ever again.0:57The foundation I started, Umbrellas of Love, seeks to spread the word about the dangers of flying debris through ad campaigns and educational programs.1:07But to truly grasp the enormity of this problem, you need to hear from some of the brave survivors who were injured by random flying things hitting them.1:15I woke up and heard the doctor say, you've been hit by a piece of flying rebar.1:30I got crushed by a big old fashioned stove. I really couldn't move.1:35The flying debris survivors I've visited with are among the bravest people I know.1:40They never blamed the gust of wind that propelled a weather vane into their body or the rusted window grate that came loose and plummeted onto their heads.1:47Instead, they say they feel lucky. If we're going to stop this epidemic of garbage and rubble killing innocent people, we're going to have to face some hard truths about the pervasiveness of unattached or insecurely attached objects throughout our nation's cities and towns.2:02Make a plan to assess the risk of flying debris in your area.2:06If you visit www.watchoutnow.org, you can download some printable debris markers.2:12Simply affix these labels to any rocks, jagged pieces of metal, large branches, loose bricks, cars, and damaged gargoyles you see in your home, workplace, or neighborhood.2:22If you notice your kids laughing at someone they see on TV getting clobbered by a random object, take the time to speak with them about the very real consequences of getting hit on the head with a vase.2:32Please tell a friend about the dangers posed by flying debris.2:36Do it for me, for Karen, most of all for yourself. Thank you.2:43That is very powerful stuff, Tracy. You are going to help a lot of people.2:47I just hope that by sharing my experience and my journey that I can make a difference in people's lives.2:53You will. You are. Now our romance expert is going to help you get the love life you want from that impotent, fat, balding husband of yours.
