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.
Causes of collisions. The majority of road crashes are caused by human error. Research has shown that driver error accounts for over 80% of all fatal and injury crashes on Irish roads. The main causes of death and injury on Irish roads remain speeding, drink driving and non-wearing of seat-belts. Because most traffic accidents are the product of several factors, the probability of accidents can be reduced in a number of different ways. There is no doubt that the following activities have prevented the increase in accidents that would normally result from increases in traffic density.
