Several dozen studies from Europe, New Zealand, Australia and the USA were analysed. Wide differences found in the evaluation of the frequency and causes (circumstances) of children's playground accidents. Prevention is by no means easy. Nevertheless, on the grounds of these studies it can be stated that playground, accidents rank third after home and traffic accidents. At least every tenth accident is associated with playing on a playground. Every twentieth of them requires hospital admission. Boys (about two-thirds) and young children, mainly up to the age of 7, are the main victims of playground accidents. Analysis of the consequences of this category of accidents shows that they do not differ much from those of other categories of children's accidents. This category of children's accidents has received almost no notice in Poland. There is urgent need to do research work in this field.
对来自欧洲、新西兰、澳大利亚和美国的几十项研究进行了分析。在儿童游乐场事故的频率和原因（情况）评估中发现了很大差异。预防绝非易事。然而，基于这些研究可以表明，游乐场事故在家庭事故和交通事故之后位列第三。至少每十起事故中就有一起与在游乐场玩耍有关。其中每二十起就需要住院治疗。男孩（约占三分之二）和幼儿，主要是7岁以下的儿童，是游乐场事故的主要受害者。对这类事故后果的分析表明，它们与其他类别的儿童事故后果没有太大差别。这类儿童事故在波兰几乎没有受到关注。迫切需要在这一领域开展研究工作。
