To examine injuries related to playground equipment, children's vehicles, roller skates, and skateboards, 1991 data on emergency room patients younger than 25 years in the Consumer Product Safety Commission's 91 surveillance hospitals were used. Head injury was the primary diagnosis for an estimated 58,480 patients, exceeding the total number of head injuries to bicyclists younger than 25 years. The head injury rate decreased with age. The large number and high rate of head injuries in children involved in a variety of recreational activities suggests the value of multipurpose helmets.
为了研究与游乐场设备、儿童车辆、旱冰鞋和滑板相关的伤害情况，我们使用了消费品安全委员会91家监测医院中25岁以下急诊患者的1991年数据。估计有58480名患者的主要诊断为头部受伤，这一数字超过了25岁以下骑自行车者头部受伤的总数。头部受伤率随年龄增长而下降。参与各种娱乐活动的儿童中头部受伤的数量众多且发生率很高，这表明了多功能头盔的价值。
