Preventing Serious Injuries
Safety surfaces play a crucial role in mitigating the risks associated with playground equipment. Where children play, falls are a given. Head Injury Criteria measures the time duration of head deceleration during impact.
Head Injury Criterion (HIC) Inspection
Safety surfaces play an essential role in mitigating the risks related to playground equipment. Where children play, falls are a given. The shock-absorbing properties of the surface directly underneath and surrounding the equipment determine whether a fall can result in serious (head) injuries.
Many playgrounds are therefore outfitted with artificial surface material which contains a certified shock absorption rating. Because the surface properties can deteriorate over time, it is, therefore, necessary to incorporate this aspect in inspections.
