We identified 684 playground hazards in 66 child care centers despite regulations mandating that the grounds be hazard-free. Of 21 centers with less than or equal to 5 hazards, 42.9 percent reported a playground-related injury in the previous year; of 25 centers with 6-11 hazards, 52.0 percent reported a playground-related injury; and of 20 centers with greater than or equal to 12 hazards, 60.0 percent reported a playground-related injury. Climbing equipment greater than or equal to 6 feet tall generally had inadequate impact-absorbing undersurfacing and had over twice the rate of fall injuries as climbing equipment less than 6 feet.
尽管有规定要求场地无危险,但我们在66家儿童保育中心发现了684处游乐场危险。在21家危险数量小于或等于5处的中心中,42.9%报告在前一年发生过与游乐场相关的伤害;在25家有6 - 11处危险的中心中,52.0%报告有与游乐场相关的伤害;在20家危险数量大于或等于12处的中心中,60.0%报告有与游乐场相关的伤害。高度大于或等于6英尺的攀爬设备通常缺乏足够的减震地面,其跌落受伤率是小于6英尺的攀爬设备的两倍多。
