mission estimates that 200,000 inju-
ries a year are the result of playground
equipment, such as slides, monkey
bars, jungle gyms, and simulated rock
climbing units. Results of incidents
stemming from children’s play are
serious business within emergency
medicine. Most playground equipment
injuries are minor cuts and bruises.
Many cuts and bruises can be treated
at home, but sometimes mom’s tender
kiss isn’t enough. The risk of injury
posed by many types of playground
equipment might outweigh the en-
joyment of using it. Parents must be
aware that children’s play of this type
may not be as safe as it appears.
