CARIBOU – A 28-year-old woman from New York was injured in an ATV accident at approximately noon today in the Caribou area.
Nicole Pone, of Albany, N.Y., was traveling with two others on three separate ATVs on the multi-use trail from Caribou to New Sweden when she hit a mud puddle and flipped her vehicle at least twice, according to Game Warden Ed Christie of the Maine Warden Service.
“She broke her right ankle,” Christie said. “It’s a pretty serious injury that could require surgery.”
Ms. Pone is visiting Maine with Gerald Tardiff and his son, Gerry, both of Albany, N.Y. They were not injured.
According to Warden Christie, Ms. Pone was not wearing a helmet. She was transported to Cary Medical Center in Caribou, and then to Aroostook Medical Center in Presque Isle.
The accident remains under investigation.

After a little internet searching, reading, and checking up on this stuff I found its a pretty well established product in Canada and hails from Quebec where they have this funny habit of speaking a lot of French. Thus the name, Jig-A-Loo, and the companys claim it derives from a saying they have up north, Ive got it!
