No summer is complete without a little backyard fun, from sprinklers and swingsets to barbeques and backyard games. While summertime activities such as swimming, grilling and jumping on the trampoline are staples for many backyards across the country, safety is also a concern. It’s not only limited to parents either — anyone who has friends and family over for a summertime soiree can benefit from keeping safety in mind while guests are entertained. As you plan your favorite end-of-summer activities, here are a few considerations so you can enjoy the last of the long, hot days in the most safe way possible.
With a few safety tips in mind, you can increase your chances for enjoying your fire pit or grill safely. Keeping a fire extinguisher nearby is one great safety precaution for these two outdoor activities, which also happen to cause a number of injuries each year.
Unintentional drowning can happen at any age, within a minute and with only a limited amount of water. While a backyard pool can be enjoyed by people of all ages, a pool can also be a place where accidents happen.
Home trampolines continue to provide a source of fun and exercise for people of all ages, especially adolescents. However, injuries from trampolines not only result in thousands of visits to the emergency room each year, but in 2018 alone there were over 300,000 medical treatments for trampoline injuries alone.
Summertime often means soaring temperatures, which also means it’s a good idea to be mindful of heat-related injuries. The CDC provides a thorough list of symptoms for heat stroke, heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Common signs of heat-related illness include sweating, rapid heartbeat, high body temperature, nausea and vomiting.
No Fourth of July celebration is complete without fireworks, but firework use occurs all summer long. However, if not handled properly, fireworks can malfunction and cause injuries to the eyes and skin, even death. Injuries can happen from handling any type of firework, including sparklers.
