Preventing Falls from Playground Equipment

Children love to play on playground equipment, but if they climb unsafe or unsteady high playground equipment they can be seriously injured. Falls from playground equipment can lead to broken bones, lacerations, concussions, or other serious injuries. Manufacturers and retailers of playground equipment have a responsibility to sell only safe equipment. Additionally, manufacturers should promote using further safety precautions along with there equipment, such as:

recommending a minimal safety perimeter prior to purchase and installation of the equipment;
including ground anchors; and
recommending protective surfacing under and around the playground equipment to prevent falls or reduce the severity of fall-related injuries.

Playground equipment guidelines have been developed by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
