accidents in playgrounds

The incident also throws a light on the dangers that can emerge from playgrounds. If we study the statistics, reports such as that of Great shooters around 430 children up to 14 years due to playground accidents are delivered to the University Clinic Graz. Almost half of these cases affect serious injuries, often caused by the falls of play equipment.

Playing on playgrounds is essential for the development of children, but the dangers are real. The study mentioned makes it clear that most playgrounds are in good condition. However, the supervision is often poor because many adults are distracted during the game. Only 3 out of 100 supervisors can resist a distraction within 15 minutes, and overall they spend about a quarter of the time with inattentive activities.

The most common causes of injury are crashes of devices, especially swings, and injuries when using climbing devices or slides. Small children in particular are particularly affected here. Most accidents are about "stupid coincidence", as many parents report - a tragic circumstance that not only focuses on supervisory duties, but also security standards at playgrounds.

summarized the incident in Liesing is a sad memory of the risks associated with the carefree of the game. Parents are challenged not only to encourage their children to play, but also to make sure that they remain safe. The security awareness must be promoted, not only among the supervisors, but also among the children themselves. This is the only way we can make it easier to play and make it easier for all loads.
