According to statistics, more than 200,000 children die every year due to accidental injuries on the mainland, accounting for one-third of the number of child deaths.
In addition to the high incidence of child accidents such as traffic accidents, drowning, fires, and falling buildings, there are also some that are not so highly concerned by our parents, but there are serious safety hazards for children, such as the following 5 situations.
Fly a kite
Now that the weather is warmer, many parents will take their children to the countryside to fly kites. But as everyone knows, that thin kite line hides huge safety hazards for adults and children.
According to news reports, Mr. Zhou of Nanjing, riding a moped from north to south from the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, was scraped down by a kite line and almost "cut his throat".
And kite lines like this hurt people every year in the country. According to the statistics of relevant departments, there are more than 100 accidents due to kite hanging lines every year.
Therefore, when parents take their children to play outside, they must pay attention to the following points:
Kite flying should choose a flat, empty place to avoid collisions in the process of kite flying.
Do not fly kites in places where buildings are dense, woods, roads and railways, and where there are high-voltage lines, which can easily cause damage to machinery and equipment or life accidents.
Remember to wear non-slip gloves when flying a kite to avoid scratching your hand or injuring people when the kite is quickly released by the wind.
In the process of flying a kite or playing, we should pay attention to the kite line, the kite line is relatively thin and not easy to see, so parents must pay more attention.
slide
The slide is what every child likes to play, and parents should pay attention to the process of playing:
Babies around 1 year old try to be shorter on the slide, and parents should protect them during the process of playing. Don't play the big slide that older kids play, it's easy to fall.
Wear clothes that are moderately thick and thin when playing on the slide. Clothes that are too thin will rub against your baby's skin. If the clothes are too thick, it is inconvenient to move. In addition, avoid ropes, buckle needles and hard objects on your child's clothes, so as not to hook the railing and cause suffocation.
Do not wear open crotch pants to let children play with the slide, the process of sliding is easy to rub the baby's small ass, and the temperature rises when rubbing, which may burn the baby. A 1-year-old baby in Xi'an wore open crotch pants while playing with the slide, and his ass was scalded off a layer of skin.
Fitness equipment
Many communities have fitness facilities, but if these fitness facilities are not careful, they will bring safety hazards to children.
Fitness roller
The fitness rollers in the general community are designed according to the adult figure, and if the child runs to play, it is easy to be stuck in it and cannot move, causing injury.
seesaw
If the child is playing with the seesaw alone, parents must pay attention to watching from the sidelines. Pay attention to the strength of both sides of the teaching child to be moderate, not too strong. If the other person sits down violently, the child on the other side is directly raised, which can easily cause the whole person to fall off the seesaw.
swing
There was a news report that a 12-year-old boy in Jiangxi Pushed the swing hard while playing on the swing and fell to the ground, and the swing that bounced back directly hit the child's head and died on the spot.
Since the risk factor of the swing is the highest, it is recommended that the child must have the parents watching the process of playing, and teach the child to hold the rope of the swing with both hands tightly when swinging, and wait for the swing to stop completely. And when swinging, be careful not to have anyone around to stay and avoid injuries.
lift
Elevators bring a lot of convenience to our lives, but at the same time there are some safety hazards, especially escalators, we must pay attention to.
The first dangerous situation is to take the escalator with your baby in one hand. Some time ago, when a mother in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, took the elevator with one hand holding her three- or four-month-old child, the child slipped from her mother's hand and died after rescue.
The second dangerous situation is to push the stroller onto the escalator. At Xujiahui Station of the Shanghai Metro, a girl pushed the stroller onto an escalator, and the front wheel of the stroller took off, causing the girl to fall down with the stroller.
The third dangerous situation is to play next to the elevator. In Kaili, Guizhou In 2016, a young child was playing by the escalator of a shopping mall without the company of his parents, when he was suddenly brought down by the escalator handrail and rolled into the gap between the escalator and the wall.
Underground garage
Parents with cars should pay attention not to take their children to the underground garage or stay too long.
The air in an underground garage or parking lot contains carbon monoxide and exhaust fumes that can cause cancer, newborn defects and reproductive harm, and pregnant mothers should not stay here for too long.
The gases emitted from automobile exhaust mainly include carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, soot particles, formaldehyde and leadides using leaded gasoline, which will have harmful effects on the central nervous system and cardiovascular system of the human body and can affect the normal development of children.
In addition, the lights in the underground garage are relatively dark, the speed is relatively fast, and there will be visual blind spots, which will cause accidents if you are not careful.
At the same time, in daily life, parents should also do a good job of safety education for their children, tell children which behaviors, which environments are hidden dangers, and how to avoid them, so as to reduce the chance of accidents.
