With children forced to wear helmets in parks, recreation grounds, gardens etc will we see more of
these problems?
The U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) warns that children should not wear bike helmets
when playing, especially on playground equipment.
CPSC has reports of two strangulation deaths
to children when their bike helmets became stuck in
openings on playground equipment, resulting in
hanging. CPSC also has reports of four cases where
no injury occurred. In two of these cases the children
were climbing trees, and in the other two cases, the
children were on playground equipment.
