Check out the video! As a community leader, it is important to take action to help each child be safe and make good decisions!
Here are the top 5 preventable fatal injuries in order:
1. Transportation (Cars, bicycles, moving vehicles) - Always wear your seat belt! never ride your bike recklessly or at night and always watch all cars and driveways as closely as possible. Wear a helmet and obey all street signs
2. Drowning - Learn how to swim, never run or play fight/ wrestle violently near water and keep an adult or strong swimmer close by. Drink lots of water and wear sunscreen when by the pool or at the beach. If you are in a lake wear a proper vest and never run out on frozen ice! The most common accident is hitting your head and becoming unconscious in the water.
3. Fire - Never play with fire, matches, lighters, wall sockets, gas stoves, BBQ's, or fireplaces! These are meant to be used by adults only!
4. Poisoning - Do not take any prescription pills or take any medicine without an adult. Do not play with or drink any chemicals that are underneath the sink or in storage, anytime!
5. Falling - Always play safe and use the proper safety equipment. Don't jump off of high things or play recklessly on the playground!
