Safety First
The main function of a playground surface is to absorb shock when a child falls. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports over 200,000 children each year are treated in US hospital emergency rooms for playground related injuries. Majority of the injuries resulted from falls from equipment to the underlying surface. Head impact injuries can be life threatening. Therefore, the more shock absorbing a surface is, the greater the likelihood impact injures are reduced and prevented. Synthetic Turf is tested to be safe and durable playground surface at critical platform heights. There are ASTM safety standard specifications used to report safe G-max scores. Synthetic Grass Pros participates in testing our playground system to guarantee ASTM safety compliance. |
