The Hidden Dangers of the Backyard #Infographic #Backyard

Backyards can be a perfect place to entertain family, friends, and guests, but there are some hidden dangers in the backyard that you may not know. Discover the facts and learn what it takes to create a safe yard environment for your friends and family.

One of the most common backyard injuries comes from trampolines. It goes without saying that if you have a trampoline, you are exposing your family to a large risk of injury. Minimize that chance by providing safety netting and keeping your trampoline away from fences and objects that could aid in injury if someone were to fall off the edge such as concrete and rocks.

Did you know between 1996 and 2012, about 184 infants and young children died from exposed window wells? Exposed window wells injure nearly 2000 + people a year. Open window wells without proper window well covers to protect from falls can even lead to liability issues if you rent out your home. View the infographic below to learn more!
