Each lesson addresses the risks involved and the safety behaviors that help to prevent injury.
Students learn the importance of obeying traffic rules while riding bicycles.
The value of protective helmets, reflectors, and other safety equipment is emphasized. Students are taught diving precautions and safe behaviors around pools, lakes and other bodies of water. Street Smart and his friends, Thomas, Maria and Kevin, begin to set the theme that you can still have fun while being safe. The video, designed to make students excited about safety, provides an overview of brain and spinal cord injury and highlights each of the five safety areas covered in the curriculum. Each comic strip highlights and reinforces key messages in each safety lesson.
