What you and I have done on the slide actually caused a 3-year-old boy to break a bone! A reminder to all parents

The temperature has been rising sharply recently, and the spring flowers are about to bloom. I really want to hurry up to the weekend and take my children to the park to play. But I recently saw a piece of news that made me very scared. I have also done this to edamame. In fact, I think almost all the parents I know have done this! So I have to give everyone a heads up! Gage, a 3-year-old boy from San Francisco, was sent to the hospital with a broken calf after playing on a slide. His mother, Broughton, said: She sat the little boy on her lap and slid down with him. At the end of the metal slide, Gage\’s rubber soles got stuck, but his body kept moving, so his feet twisted underneath him. Behind him, the adult\’s weight made the situation worse. The mother\’s weight caused a strong impact to the foot that was already stuck and could not move. △Poor children. A little girl named Ella fractured her calf while playing on a slide when she was 18 months old! What happened was this: At that time, her mother thought that Ella was still too young, so she asked Ella to sit between her legs and slide Ella with her. The speed at that time made Ella feel very scared, so Ella unconsciously stretched out her feet and hoped that her legs would slide. The friction of your feet can slow you down. But when Ella and her mother reached the bottom of the slide, Ella\’s lower limbs had been deformed and fractured! These injured children all have one thing in common: they are all playing on slides held by their parents! Don’t let your kids sit on your lap on the slide! When a child is too young to sit alone; when parents are worried that the slide is too high and the child is scared; when parents want to spend more time with their baby; many parents will choose to let the baby sit on their laps and take the baby down the slide. Slide up and down! How many people dare to say that they have never played like this? △Celebrities can’t escape this kind of gameplay. Jimmy Lin also took his children to play this way and the culprit caused the child’s leg to be broken. This kind of gameplay is holding the child and sliding down the slide! If an accident occurs when carrying a child down a slide, the force will be tantamount to a serious rear-end accident! why? I checked a lot of information and analyzed it for you. You will understand it at a glance. Because during the sliding process, children will stretch out their feet to increase friction and slow down the speed out of fear; or they may be naughty and directly step on the surface of the slide while sliding. Whatever the reason, once the child\’s foot slows down or even stops suddenly. The adult sitting behind the child will not slow down, and all the impact force will be applied to the child, causing injury to the baby. By the same principle, when a child feels scared or wants to grab something unconsciously, he will hold on to the side of the slide. Once the hand increases the friction, the speed of the slide will suddenly slow down, causing the adult who has not slowed down to use all the force. The shock hits the child. Therefore, in December 2017, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published a research report at a national meeting: It is recommended that \”young children should not sit on other people\’s laps and slide on slides.\” Slides are actually not safe. In addition to accidents caused by holding children on slides, the following are also the main reasons for children\’s injuries: 1. The mat at the bottom of the slide is very thin. Last time I took edamame to play on the slide in my grandma\’s community. There is a 6-year-old little boy who is naughtyHis head slid down, and then his head hit the mat on the ground. With a \”wow\” sound, he covered his head and cried loudly. His father ran to take a look and found that his head hit the mat. Maybe in order to save money, the mat in the playground was very thin, like paper. The child slipped down and hit the ground. Later, when I checked the news, I found that this was really not uncommon. When an 8-year-old girl from Fuzhou was playing on a slide, the floor mat at the bottom of the slide was so thin that it could hardly rebound. The 8-year-old girl was already very heavy, and the force of rushing down was very strong. Because she was not well cushioned, her left hand was injured. Dislocations and minor fractures. Then, I paid close attention to the slides in many playgrounds. Many slides are placed on a rubber floor mat or directly on the cement floor. The rubber floor mat is very hard and cannot rebound. When it is impacted, it cannot effectively buffer it. When a child slides down, once If you are unable to master your balance, your body will tilt or lie down, and you will fall heavily on a very hard floor mat, which is equivalent to falling from a high altitude to a very hard ground. The impact is no less than the damage caused by falling from a bicycle to the ground. Not to mention placing the slide directly on the cement floor. If a child falls, it will be like falling upside down. Do not let children play with this kind of slide! Therefore, it is recommended that parents choose a slide with regular floor mats. Generally, it will rebound better when stepped on and will not feel thin or clumsy. If the floor mat at the bottom is not pressed under the slide but is small and movable, keep the child away, because the child will kick the floor mat away when he comes down, which is equivalent to nothing. 2. Slides may seriously burn children! In December 2014, Mason, a 3-year-old boy in New South Wales, was severely burned while playing on a slide in a park. Medical staff measured that the temperature of the metal slide that caused Mason\’s injury reached 62 degrees, and the human body is exposed to temperatures above 40 degrees. Substances can cause burns. The boy\’s mother said: \”As long as the weather is hot enough, this kind of thing can happen anywhere, on a trampoline, on a swing, or on any metal or even plastic material.\” In order to reduce costs and increase smoothness, many slides use a piece of iron directly. Made of solar panels, this slide acts as a solar panel in the summer! It absorbs a lot of heat and becomes scalding hot, and a child\’s skin will be burned instantly if he sits on it. △Potential scalding machine. Do you think plastic material is fine? NO! The plastic slides that are now widely used can also cause burns. The surface temperature of plastic slides exposed to the scorching sun is nearly 64°C. When exposed to the sun, the surface temperature of stone can reach 41°C. It can be seen that no matter what material is tested under high temperature, it has exceeded the safe temperature that the human body can accept. Therefore, it is best not to let children play with slides that are exposed to the sun outdoors, no matter what material they are made of. They can wait until it gets a little cooler in the morning and evening. Before letting your child sit on the slide, be sure to test the surface temperature with your hands. And tell your children that even if the slide is not hot, do not sit on the slide for a long time to avoid low-temperature burns. 3. Pursue excitement and fun. In order to let their children have fun, many parents will choose a slide with a high height and a large slope. However, the higher the height, the greater the slope, the faster the speed, and the greater the danger. on microI saw a mother on the blog saying that when her child came down from the slide, he lost his balance and fell to the right. He came down against the right side of the slide. There was a big cut on his right eyelid and he was bleeding. Although there was no I touched my eyeball, but the doctor said the scar will definitely remain. The mother was also confused. There was nothing hard about the slide, so how could it cut a hole like a knife? I believe many people understand how terrifying the power of speed is. A bullet is just a small piece of iron, but under the influence of speed, it can penetrate the human body. The same is true for slides. If the slope of the slide is very large and the sliding speed is very fast, even a small scratch on the slide can become a blade that doubles the impact on the child. Some places are afraid that children will fall while playing, and they like to put net pockets around the slide. Once the child puts his hand into the mesh and gets caught in the net during the slide, the strong force will jam the child\’s delicate fingers. Broken or even broken. Regardless of whether the child is willing or not, you must choose a slide with a gentle slope that is suitable for the child\’s age. If the child is too young, simply stop playing, because the slide is really a very dangerous amusement project. 4. As all mothers know, I have to reiterate no! want! Slide the slide backwards! Children\’s bone tissue is relatively soft and deforms under the action of external forces. If a child slides backwards on the slide, it will cause violent compression of the cervical spine, which may cause deformation of the vertebrae and affect growth and development. Don’t slide while lying down, chase and fight on the top of the slide, start sliding before the child in front of you gets up, or linger after sliding… These mistakes that children often make must be emphasized tirelessly. After all, none of us can afford the risk of something happening to our children. When the baby plays in a new place for the first time, the mother also needs to check the stability of the slide. In addition to slides, amusement parks also have these invisible killers that parents need to pay special attention to: such as inflatable castles: The biggest cause of accidents in inflatable castles is that children fall when they are blown up by the wind. Many inflatable castles are only fixed at the four corners. If the wind is strong, the castle will be uprooted, and the children on it will be lifted into the air and then fall to the ground. There have been many similar accidents in the country. If you take your children to play inflatable castles, be sure to choose indoor ones. Seesaw Seesaw is a game of power balance, so the danger caused by power imbalance is the most common. If one side is pressed down with great force, the child on the opposite side may be bounced up. If one side suddenly loses strength, the child on the other side will hit the ground hard. Therefore, force balance is an important factor in ensuring the safety of the seesaw. I tell you all these dangers and list all these hidden dangers so that the tragedy will not happen again. It is to make every angel stop crying. It is a pity that this kind of thing still happens frequently every year, because parents always take chances. However, as long as there is a probability greater than zero, you cannot assume that it will not happen. Perhaps statistically speaking, whether it is a 1% chance or a 90% chance, when misfortune strikes a family, it is 100% destructive. The slide is really not as safe as it seems on the surface. Before children play, carefullyCheck for hidden dangers and don’t regret it after something happens!
