1. Children are at high risk for drowning because they are curious about the water and do not have the cognitive ability to understand the dangers of it.
2. Roped areas are an indication of danger. Trampolines cause a high risk for injury and should be avoided.
3. A helmet when using anything with wheels should be worn because the child is at risk for hitting his/her head if a fall occurs.
4. Water safety, not using trampolines, and wearing a helmet should be taught for injury prevention.
