Mayo Clinic Minute: Fall prevention tips for kids
Показать описание
Every year in the U.S., roughly 2.2 million children under 15 are seen in emergency departments for injuries related to falls.
While falls can occur anywhere, windows and stairs are common causes of fall-related injury and death in young children.
To keep your child safe, install window guards and stops. Keep windows locked and closed when not in use. And for those kids that like to climb, move furniture away from the windows, and use approved safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs.
As kids get older, injuries from falls outside the home, such as bicycling or on the playground, are more likely to occur. Falls on the playground account for almost 200,000 trips to the emergency room each year. And when biking, skateboarding or other fun stuff, protect the head by wearing a helmet.
