Even so, last year, approximately 26 students were killed and another 9,000 were injured in incidents involving school buses.

Back To School Safety back to school safety. Children are heading back to school. The early morning roads are once again crowded with pedestrians, bikes http://www.att.com/ehs/safety/back_to_school.html
Extractions: Back to School Safety Children are heading back to school. The early morning roads are once again crowded with pedestrians, bikes, and cars in the rush to work and school. Drivers must always be watchful, and not only of other vehicles. In 1997, more than one third of the pedestrians injured by motor vehicles - approximately 77,000 - were children under the age of 15. Children frequently dart unexpectedly into traffic, often from between parked cars. If you're driving in and around school zones and other areas where children play, expect the unexpected. Bicycling in traffic or on busy roads can be dangerous. Just as if they were driving a car, children on bicycles must observe the rules of the road - yet they may not be familiar with them. The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) suggests the following safe bicycling practices for riding in the U.S.: Always wear a helmet. Other safety gear, such as elbow pads, is recommended, especially for beginners.

Extractions: By Bruce H. Axelrod, M.D. As millions of children head back to school, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is helping parents, teachers, and caregivers look for hidden hazards to help prevent injuries and deaths to children. The Commission's "Back to School Safety Checklist" offers tips on making schools, child care facilities and playgrounds safer. Playgrounds Check the surfaces around playground equipment. There should be a 12-inch depth of wood chips, mulch, sand or pea gravel, or there should be mats made of safety-tested rubber or fiber material to prevent head injury when a child falls. Each year, more than 200,000 children are treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for playground-associated injuries. Most of these injuries occur when a child falls from the equipment. Drawstrings on Jackets and Sweatshirts Remove drawstrings on hoods or around the neck. Cut drawstrings at the waist or bottom of jackets and sweatshirts to 3 inches. Since 1985, 22 children have died when drawstrings caught on school buses, playground equipment and other products. Loops on Window Blind Cords If the windows in your home, childcare facilities or schools have blinds, cut the loop on two-corded horizontal blinds, and attach separate tassels to prevent entanglement and strangulation in window blind cords. Vertical blinds, continuous loop systems and drapery cords use looped cords to function. Do not cut these loops. Instead, install a permanent tie-down device. To obtain free tassels and tie down devices call (800) 506-4636. About one child a month dies from strangulation with window covering cords.
