For example, infants are more likely to fall from furniture, while toddlers are more likely to fall from windows.
Older children sustain more fall-related injuries from playground equipment.
Windows that are open just five inches pose a danger to children under the age of 10. In addition, even a closed window can be dangerous if the child can get near it falling through glass can cause serious and often fatal injuries. In addition, older children who are running up and down stairs can trip and injure themselves. Clutter on stairs poses an increased risk of falling. Although playgrounds can provide children with exercise and an enjoyment of the outdoors, they also pose safety hazards.
