Injury Prevention

Kids Are Unpredictable, Injuries Don't Have to Be

Kids are curious, active and imaginative. They may take chances that can result in an injury.

Did You Know?

Falls are the leading cause of injury for children 10-14 years of age.
Young children (ages 0-4) are most likely to fall at home when the caregiver is not within sight of the child.
Older children are more likely to fall from playground equipment or while talking part in winter sports or wheeled activities.
Being hit by a motor vehicle is a serious cause of death for children 1 – 14 years old.
