Going from memory here, but the Sun had a recent story that talked about AED's, and I believe they said you have a 60% chance of surviving a heart attack in the Villages, but only 40% elsewhere, largely due to the AED's and the fact that your neighbors who are trained to use them get the 911 call the same time the ambulance does.
Our neighborhood recently took up a collection to replace some of ours that were expiring. The $5 they were asking seemed like awfully cheap heart attack insurance to me. I didn't even realize we had them. What an amazing place to live! Can anyone imagine their neighborhood back home doing this?
