In many ways, children in America are safe than ever. But apparently, the Colf Carts did not find the memo. New research This week finds that Pediatric Cart’s injury increased.
Investigators in the Benadelphia’s hospital hospital conducting a lesson, a golf injury to the construction of the construction and sent children to the emergency room. They found that this injury was expanded in recent years, about a part involving children under the age of 12. Much requires being made to beat back to Golf Cart Menace, researchers say.
“The growing golf practice is used in the additional frequency of children who call and ride the cars,” Golf Course and Chop Center, in the American Academy Academy of Pediatrics. The findings are presented over the weekend at AAP national conference.
Why are children injured in Golf Carts
The investigators arrested the National Electric Puline injury (Neiss), injury database management at hospital emergency departments across the country. Details are intended to be a national representative, so scientists often use it to measure how many painful Americans are specific for certain products or causes of injury.
They were examining Ness data between 2010 and 2023, focusing on golf related injury among children and adults (22 years and under). They listed 1,419 cases at the time – which is about 53 855 such injuries across the country at that time. On average, they estimate that an average of 3,800 golf damage has happened annually, but they also learned that this injury increased every three years ago.
The ageage of Golf Cart Musitis was 11, and 90% of those injured were boys. About half of the injury is caused by a person who falls away to the cart, and 36% were involved in a conflict or cart. Children often injured head injuries, in the face, or neck, while half of all injuries were considered great.
Significantly, some studies have suggested that the practice of the General General Dates returned early 2000s.
What to do
The authors say that they have found that “unworthiness of powerful safety features and the lack of regular rules.” However, leaving no more likely to accommodate the community’s great community campaign from the waves from waves, that should also mean that there is more to reduce these injuries.
Golf Cart can be better designed to manage sharp corners, for example, or not slightly disposed to widely. The policy and lawmakers can pass the rules and regulations to promote better safety.
Some areas have already started to do this. In fact, South Carolina uses a law that requires children under 12 to wear a seat belt where it is within these vehicles. In 2023, Florida also began to require the youth to have a permit or license to drive a cart (beforehand, 14 could call without the license.
The investigators say that people should be more informed about potential golf cycles.
“Our acquisition emphasizes the need for an emergency to add awareness and pay attention to the injury between children and reflects the important role of education safely,” Ganley.
