Allied Health Ed. The warm breezes of summer can be relaxing, refreshing and invigoration. But before you open your windows this summer, doctors at The Southern New Jersey Regional Trauma Center at Cooper want to remind you that falls from windows can result in permanent disabilities and even death.
Children are the most common victims.
Never put beds or chairs near windows above the first floor. Children will be naturally drawn to them. Talk to children about never leaning on windows with screens or opening screens for any reasons. Never leave small children alone near open unlocked windows. Use Good Judgment when Diving, Riding Waves Pools and beaches throughout New Jersey are becoming crowded with summer visitors.
