Films for the Humanities and Sciences - Preventing Injuries to Children

Preventing Injuries to Children

Child’s play can be dangerous. Accidental injuries kill 10,000 kids every year in the U.S. and over 50,000 more are disabled. Over one million children are injured every year on bikes, roller-blades, and in playgrounds. This program focuses on two children, one who fell off a bike and suffered brain trauma, and another who suffered a severe arm injury in a roller-blading accident. The program stresses the importance of prevention, focusing on the need for and proper use of protective equipment, the role of parents and educators in preventing injuries, as well as the need to train children how to safely pursue their activities.
