Missouri playgrounds pose hidden risks for children
Playgrounds can be fun places to bring kids on a warm, summer day. Playgrounds can also suddenly become dangerous. Each year, emergency rooms treat more than 200,000 children under 14 years old for injuries sustained on playgrounds in America, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some injuries are severe and can even result in the death of a child. The most common type of non-fatal playground injuries include severe–fractures, internal injuries, concussions, dislocations and amputations, according to the CDC.
Most of these injuries happen on public playgrounds at schools. Statistically, girls get injured more often than boys. And the age group most likely to be injured at a playground is children 5 to 9 years old.
