Surfacing
70% of playground injuries result from falls off equipment onto unforgiving surfaces.
How you handle surfacing is very important to your children's safety and risk management efforts.
The surface under and around your playground equipment is critical to preventing the injury potential from a fall. Hard surfacing materials, such as concrete or asphalt are unsuitable for under and around play equipment. Grass or packed earth are also not recommended because they have poor shock absorbing properties and injury may occur from a maximum fall height.
