Parent to dress children appropriately (examples would include the use of well-fitting shoes and the avoidance of
ponchos, scarfs, and other loose-fitting clothing that is potentially hazardous while using equipment).

Check the openings between rollers and sliding surfaces of roller slides for foreign materials that could be
potentially hazardous to users.

the equipment, such as, but not limited to, jump ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables and chain as they may
cause a strangulation hazard.
