Extractions: The demise of space for kids to play meant that games could only be played at schools or in parks with groomed fields properly measured to assure rule-book adherence to adult-created game codes and parameters. The fields were fenced and locked so that in order for kids to play, an adult had to reserve or rent the facility. When the game was played, responsible adults were needed to supervise the kids, and make sure they behaved themselves. Coaches were needed to train the kids in the proper methods for warming up before a game and cooling down afterwards. They taught the kids the right techniques for holding a ball, kicking a ball, hitting a ball, and throwing a ball. They taught the kids the rules and made sure they obeyed them. They even supplied the only sanctioned snack (as any soccer mom can tell you) - oranges, cut into quarters. Parents, of course, came to the games to cheer their kids on. After investing so much in the gear and training, they naturally wanted to see how well their progeny did. From the sidelines they'd scream, yell, and shout their kids to victory. Kids on the losing team were often belittled and berated by parents and coaches who seemed to take the game loss as a personal failure. Grown-ups in the stands erupted into full-blown tantrums over close calls or bad calls by umpires and referees. For the adults, winning was everything, losing wasn't an option, and fun wasn't even a consideration.
Your Health 8/98 - (Safe In Sun, Food Preparation, Kid-safe Summer Its easy to forget about health and safety when you re having fun, but it s important for you to STRAP ON A HELMET WHEN biking, boarding OR blading http://www.ladhs.org/media/yourhealth/yourhealthaugust98.htm
Extractions: HOT TIPS FOR SAFE FUN IN THE SUN Summer months are a time for water recreational activities. But where summer and water are combined, children are especially vulnerable. Drowning is the leading cause of death for Los Angeles County youngsters from one to four years old. Of the 117 drowning deaths last year, 21 were children less than five years old. Two-thirds of these children drowned in backyard pools. It takes just a few seconds for a child to drown or nearly drown. Leaving children unattended in a few inches of water can have deadly results. In recent years, we have also seen an increase in the number of elderly persons who drowned during warm weather months. Last year, 26 people over the age of 65 drowned, compared to 15 who drowned in 1996. Many of these deaths occurred in spas and swimming pools. Seniors with heart conditions, high blood pressure or who experience dizziness and equilibrium difficulties should use caution when wading or swimming.

A good variety of obstacles, keeping all abilities in mind. (Remember, this will be used by your local kids). A good flow pattern throughout the skate park from obstacle to obstacle shall be applied. A skate park design that offers both ramp and street skating obstacles. Ensure proper, safe distances from obstacle to obstacle. Too much room between obstacles wears the kids out. Not enough room can be unsafe and too congested. Taller obstacles require more approach than shorter ones. Some obstacles require more landing room than others. Knowledge of how the obstacles are skated is very important. Quality, durability and warranty of equipment offered.

Herb Denenberg column for week of December 20, 2004. NF(8)(68). ANOTHER ACTIVITY, OF MANY OTHERS, REQUIRING A HELMET, WHICH SHOULD BE WORN ONLY IF YOU LIKE A BRAIN AND HEAD THAT FUNCTION. We still just dont get it, when it comes to wearing helmets, which can protect against brain injuries, one of the most devastating and most difficult to treat injuries. Thats evidenced all the time, by magazine covers that show people in action on bikes or snowboards or something else, without a helmet. For example, the July 2004 issue of the magazine Travel and Leisure has an attractive young lady on a bike without a helmet and in her bare feet, a perfect prescription for injury, possibly permanent disability and death. I like applying the dental advice on flossing in the context of helmets. The dentists say only floss the teeth you want to keep. Id say only wear a helmet on the head and brain you want to keep functioning and functioning properly. The attempt to make the public see the light has been going on for decades, without success. Laws have been passed requiring helmets, education efforts are always being made, but too many people still dont get it, especially the parents of young children who are most vulnerable to these mostly preventable medical catastrophes.
