Health Tip: Stay Safe at the Playground

(HealthDay News) — Kids love the playground, and parents love
the fresh air, exercise and socializing.

But an injury during horseplay or improper use of the equipment can put
a damper on all of the fun.

The Nemours Foundation says many of the thousands of playground
injuries each year are preventable. Here are the foundation’s
recommendations:

  • Avoid rough play or pushing near any playground equipment.
  • Use all equipment as designed.
  • Store bikes, backpacks and other bags away from the playground to
    avoid tripping hazards.
  • Don’t use equipment that is damp or wet. Check the equipment before
    use to make sure it isn’t too hot to sit on or touch.
  • Don’t wear jewelry or clothing that has drawstrings or cords, which
    may become caught.
