Kids fall down all the time. They should; the little ones run full-tilt with their awkwardly over-sized noggins flopping out in front of their incredibly under-coordinated bodies. They look like they are constantly trying to catch up with their continuously flopping head.
Fifteen people die in playground accidents per year. CNN just did one of those "Be Afraid of Everything" stories about the dangers of playgrounds. I love ominous shots of empty monkey bars and blurry children shot from weird stalker-esque angles.
In the year 1997, there were 98,000 playground accidents. In an eight year period, Odense hospital had nearly 400 rollerskating accidents. More than 10, 000 kids fall off their bikes each year. 125,000 people die from snakebite each year. 7,000 kids drown every year. The highest percentages of drownings occur in Hawaii.
Hawaii is a chain of Islands.
Why doesn't anyone do anything about these playgrounds, roller skates and Hawaiis? Who will take a stand against these things?
Some people believe that all this jibber-jabbering claptrappetry from the television news with its expensive graphics and deceptively shot stories are causing anxiety in the daily lives of the modern human.
A psychiatrist can help you with anxiety, but maybe he or she is really just out to give you radon poisoning? Is there radon near some things that you like? Is your basement full of radon?
Chances are, a psychiatrist has nothing to do with radon. They can help you with all your radon phobias that I project onto you.
If you do fall at the playground, see an orthopedic surgeon. To find a variety of radon-less doctors, click here.
