This program from The Doctor Is In covers the most common areas of danger and makes some very basic points about common sense and risk-taking. Automobile accidents are the principal cause of injury, and wearing seatbelts would prevent a large percentage of deaths; bicycle accidents cause 1,300 deaths annually, most of which could be prevented if the rider were wearing a helmet. The program divides injury prevention into five major categories: wearing seatbelts, using safe toys, care in sports on land and in the water, and winter hazards. It points out that alcohol doesn’t mix with boats any more than with cars; discusses safety in helmets and flotation devices; covers the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of hypothermia and the dangers of accidental poisoning in children and adults; and offers a reminder that, in the case of children, no precaution beats supervision.
