A Study of Control Centers and Disease Prevention, US, warns of rising cases of head trauma from accidents on playgrounds. Mainly on swings, bars and rings to hang.
In Brazil, almost half of hospital admissions of children by accident is due to falls. "By 4 years, the head is about 25% of body weight, besides being fragile. The chance to be the first part to hit the ground is great, "says Gabriela Freitas, national coordinator of the NGO Child Safe. Check out the expert advice for your child to enjoy the toys without risk:
* Check for an indicative age for use of the playground.
* If there is no indication, note the height of the toys: the higher, the greater the risk of injury in the fall.
* Take into account the floor. Sand, grass or rubberized materials are better than concrete.
* Always supervise. The child does not have much sense of danger and risk more.
