Unintentional childhood injury is the number one killer of children under the age of 14. Examples include: bike injury, burn injury, drowning, fire injury, poisoning, injuries from riding in a car and many more. According to the national Safe Kids Campaign, "prevention is the cure." By taking simple precautions, almost all of these unintentional injuries can be avoided.
