[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are kids breaking arms and wrists? Falling?

I'm not concerned about this-- maybe I should be (I'm OP). My kid has literally never been injured on the playground-- she always catches herself mid-fall, if that.

I'm kind of wondering if the reason this is a top injury-causer is because there's almost no other way to injure yourself on the playground anymore-- no merry-go-rounds, no trees to climb, etc. I mean, I assume bicycles cause a lot of injuries, too, but... *shrug emoji*

Could it also be that kids are doing them before they're ready? I see a LOT of parents putting their kids on this sort of equipment and "helping" them cross by holding them up. I wonder if that gives them a false sense of confidence? I know another surprising source of injuries is kids getting legs broken while their parents go down the slides with them. Hm.

I'd hate it if she weren't allowed on the monkey bars at school. That seems... Wow. [/quote]

You are giving a weird amount of thought to this.[/quote]
