The specific subjects of each article will change, but the main point remains the same, that is, to keep our children from becoming injured or killed while they are simply trying to play on playground equipment. The content of this and future articles will interest all who are concerned about children's safety. This series of articles begins with supervision for a reason. However, we want to first address how to prevent the fall from happening in the first place. Of course, the remaining types of injuries will be addressed by all of the upcoming articles as well.
Children can become bored with playing on equipment as it was intended to be used.
They see this as fun. Supervision is not intended as a guarantee to prevent injuries. Supervision and behavior go hand in hand, but behavior will be the content of the next article. I just returned from auditing playgrounds for some cities in California, but at one park there were three little children playing by themselves, unsupervised. I told them to get their folks so they can play safely and supervised.
