CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND
SURFACING MATERIALS
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that
about 100,000 playground equipment related injuries resulting from falls
to the ground surface are treated annually in the U.S. hospital emergency
rooms. Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be among the most
serious of all playground injuries, and have the potential to be fatal,
particularly when the injury is to the head. The surface under and around
the playground equipment can be a major factor in determining the
injury causing potential of a fall. It is self evident that a fall onto a shock-
absorbing surface is less than likely to cause a serious injury than a fall
onto a hard surface. Playground equipment should never be placed on
hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, carpet, grass or any other hard
surface. Grass may appear to be acceptable, it may turn to hard packed
earth in areas of high trafc. Shredded bark, wood chips, ne sand or
ne gravel are considered to be acceptable shock-absorbing surfaces
when installed and maintained at a sufcient depth under and around
playground equipment. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious in
injury or death to the equipment user.
