Report Update: NOTE: The respondent filed this report on behalf of the family involved in the incident.
5/28/2016: A 9 year-old child, after climbing down to the ground using a vertical pole type ladder from an elevated circular slide platform at a children’s playground, turned to run away from another child who was pursuing him and hit his nose on a suspended metal pipe and sustained a nasal fracture with deformity & obstruction. The children were playing a game of tag and the child at issue herein was being chased.
The child was taken by his parents directly to their medical provider and then quickly transported to the hospital.
The structure is an elevated circular platform, approximately six (6) feet above the ground. At one end it has two (2) slides leading to the ground. Looking at the structure from a side view with the slides to the extreme right end of the view, there is a conventional stairway from the ground to the elevated platform. About eight (8) feet to the right of said stairway, there is a vertical pole type ladder from the ground to the elevated platform. About two (2) feet to the right of said vertical pole type ladder there is a six (6) foot, six (6) inch diameter metal pipe buried vertically into the ground at a location about four (4) feet away from the structure. Please see pictures of the claimed suspended hazard at issue herein and attached hereto as EXHIBIT 1, side view picture A and end view (slides) picture B.
Further, there is a four (4) foot long, two (2) inch diameter metal pipe that is suspended horizontally four (4) feet above the ground, and which is connected between the structure and the abovementioned six (6) foot high, six (6) inch diameter, free-standing metal pipe. Please see EXHIBIT 2, an annotated picture attached hereto depicting the claimed defect at issue herein. This configuration creates a suspended component that is less than the required seven (7) feet above the ground height minimum that is specified in the Public Playground Safety Handbook published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
