Newspaper Artcle Summary and Response

Summary:Headphones,walking are dangerous combination.Pedestrians distracted don't hear horns or sirens before being hit.The study illustrate the dangers of using devices such as music players with headphones.In 74 percent of the cases,police or eyewitness reports said the pedestrian had headphones on when hit.The study authors pointed to two likely culprits that may be a factor in what they call "the possible association between headphone use and pedestrian injury"More comprehensive information on such accidents is needed,the researchers said, to see which groups of peope may be most risk.Limitations of the study included relying on media reporting,"which likely overpublishes tragic events but vastly under-publishes nonfatal cases,"according to the study.

Personal opinion : I think this artcle is very useful for me ,because I often listen to music use my headphone when I hang out the street.But I don't think so is very dangerous ,it can kill somebody.Just you can keep the voice lower and look at front. Thtough my dictionary ,I understand this article amost,they said have another factors,could have been involved in the acidents,such as pedestrians being intoxicated or drivers being at fault.So ,maybe I'mnot intoxicated enough,I can serious treat this things.I hope this article could help you.
