It’s all about the safety

Playgrounds are exciting and fun places for children. They help build dexterity and they are a great place to make friends. Kids are wonderfully inventive and use playground equipment in many different ways, sometimes not intended by the manufacturers.

Each year in the United States, more than 150,000 children under the age of 14 are treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries occurring on public playgrounds, according to the Centers for Diseases and Prevention (CDC). There are many ways to prevent these injuries and to lessen the injuries that do occur.
