accident dangers on playgrounds

The tragic incident throws light on the accident risks that insist on playgrounds. According to the BFU , around 8,500 children are injured in Switzerland, often due to falls who often affect children's behavior or lack of maintenance of the play equipment. Devices such as slides, climbing towers or rocker swings can become the source of danger if there is insufficient maintenance. An unsuitable floor covering also contributes to injuries.

Although serious accidents and deaths are rare due to falls on playgrounds, it is important that parents and caregivers are aware of the potential risks. Children pay their full attention to the game and only develop an awareness of dangers from about ten years. Therefore, parents should make sure that their children do not wear a bicycle or lanyard in order to minimize the risk of grabbing. In addition, it is recommended not to raise children to devices that they cannot reach independently and to leave them the choice of play equipment.

prevention measures and notification of defects

As a responsible accompanying person, it is crucial to pay attention to defects in playgrounds or devices and to report them to the corresponding owners, usually to the communities. The BFU also offers support from security delegates to help in difficult cases. In view of the events of June 7, 2025, it is all the more important to take proactive measures for accident prevention and to improve security in playgrounds.
