In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some of their favorite playground safety tips. Playgrounds are agreat place for a kid to learn about the joy of play but you have to be careful – 15 children die on playgrounds each year and countless others suffer unnecessary injuries. After it rains remember things get slippery and more difficult to balance on. Make sure one child ata time is going down the slide – this is an area where a lot of kids get hurt when one kid goes up the slide the wrong way while another kid is sliding down. Don’t go barefoot – there could be sharp objects buried under the soft ground cover. Watch for splinters along wooden rails. And always keep an eye open for swing people and object – nothing ruins play time faster than a kid getting whacked inthe head by someone on the swings. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
