Some common accidents that occur during the summer include collisions between motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. Those who enjoy spending time in the pool may also become injured if they slip and fall. Recreation parks are also a common place where accidents can happen especially when children are playing on swings, bars or participating in sports.

Recreation Accident Prevention

Accidents cannot always be predicted, but there are some actions that can be taken to reduce the number of accidents that occur on a regular basis. While it is true that you cannot control other peoples actions, you can make sure that you do your best to reduce injury to others. Listed below are things you can do to keep you and your loved ones safe while enjoying outdoor activities:

  • Wear seat belts or a helmet if riding a motorcycle or bike.
  • Pay attention to your children and others who may be playing around concrete or steel.
  • Wear life jackets while swimming.

If an accident still occurs despite your precautionary measures, you should seek medical attention immediately. Brain injuries can occur and the sudden impact can have a long term affect on you or someone you know. Other common summer recreation injuries include sprains and broken bones. These generally happen when someone falls abruptly on the ground, down stairs or while running.
