Thousands of people are being sent to emergency rooms across the country every single year. Here바카라 게임 웹사이트s how the injuries break down:55% of injuries are related to pumpkin carving.25% of injuries are from falls while putting up and taking down decorations, tripping on costumes, or while trick-or-treating.20% of injuries are from other things like costumes, rashes, allergic reactions, etc. 54% of injuries happen to adults. 46% of injuries happen to kids 7 to 18 years old. 10% of injuries happen to kids 6 years of age or younger. Pumpkin Carving Safety Tips:Adults should be the ones carving the pumpkins. If you want the kids to participate, let them use a spoon to scoop out the guts or have them trace the face design. Use battery-operated lights or glow sticks instead of an open-flame candle inside your jack-o-lantern. Fires caused by jack-o-lanterns are common. If you are using an open-flame candle, keep them away from decorations, curtains, etc. Never leave candles burning unattended. Costume Safety Tips:If a costume is long or too baggy, make sure to tuck it in to prevent trips and falls. Tuck in flowing fabrics too. If trick-or-treating past sundown, make sure you and your kids are wearing bright colors or reflective tape so you all can be seen.
