How to better protect children in the playground?

According to a large number of data, although the playground is designed for children’s activities, the park tour every year to lead children into the emergency room more than 20 million people were injured. Most of these injuries are caused by falling from the playground equipment. Why are these game architectures so dangerous and how to avoid getting hurt? Here are a series of operational safety guides that keep you away from the emergency room.

1. Check the floor: Check the surface of the playground you are visiting. The Consumer Product Safety Commission states that equipment should never be placed on hard asphalt or concrete. Looking for a structure on a soft and tolerant surface. Any area with a rubber playground floor is an improvement in the safety of children with loose or hard surfaces. First, the rubber floor has the advantage of cushioning and absorbing shocks. In addition, due to the rubber’s natural high coefficient of friction, the rubber flooring is a non-slip surface. It will prevent any minor damage caused by slipping or falling. If a child falls on the ground or above the structure, the rubber will also play a role in the cushion, which absorb the impact of falling.

2. 30/9 Rule: To avoid any aerial collision, you should make sure that all the 30 mm high playback devices are separated by at least 9 feet so that any adventurous children who jump out of the structure will not touch the different parts of the playground.

3. Remove the protrusions: Check all dangerous hardware around and open the “S” hook or the bolt end. Although these may seem small or farther, there is a potential danger.

4. There is no sharp edge: You should make sure that there is no sharp edge or point on the device, even if the dots may cause serious cuts if a child falls to touch it.

5. Be alert to aging equipment: Pay attention to any look older and rusty playground. These playground structures are not so strong as they need to be repaired.

The development of dry ski slope

Dry ski slope also called artificial ski slope is a ski slope that simulates the attributes of snow using materials that are stable at room temperature, to enable people to ski, snowboard or snow tube in places where natural, snow-covered slopes are inconvenient or unaviable. With the popular trend, let’s have a brief introduction of its development. 
It was in United Kingdom and Netherlands that firstly become popular while other European countries tend to have access to real snow fields. Great changes have taken place of in the shape and the materials of artificial ski slope. 
Early shapes and materials
Extruded plastic tiles were initially used to mimic snow to ski. The extruded plastic tiles provide grip capability by upward spikes. This artificial ski slope provided little grip and turning capability. The experience was also similar to skiing across ice. Due to bad users’ experience and products performance, this type of artificial ski slope was unpopular.  
Brush material 
With the brush industry continues to thrive, the next stage of in dry ski slope development happened. A well known material is dendix, a by-product of brush manufacturing. Dendix is similar to a short-haired brush with the bristles sticking upward. Since invention, it soon became popular throughout the world. Compared to the previous ski surface, it is a significant advancement. However, there was still a constant threat that it provided little or no impact protection to a slope user when falling. 
Recent materials
The most recent development of dry ski slope is the material provides both impact protection and slope lubrication. Besides, it also offers the ability to perform turns, erect jump, and brake. The ski experience is closer to the feel of real snow. The shape is similar to flammulina velutipes. The surface of dry ski slopes is abundant of small balls. These small balls make the snow board and dry ski slope in a point contact condition no matter ski in any angle ensuring the moderate friction.
