The product, in the report: Game Time Sky Wheels
The consumer stated that her daughter was injured when she fell from a piece of playground equipment at school. The equipment is Game Time Sky Wheels Upper Body Equipment. The consumer’s daughter was playing on the equipment which is designed as four posts placed deep into the wood chip surface. These posts have a horizontal cross beams and an overhead bar which supports three free-spinning metallic wheels set at angles to the overhead bar. By design, the child is intended to grasp from one free-spinning wheel to the other in an overhead traverse. The horizontal bar and wheels are set approximately 8 feet from the ground, with a wood chip surface material below. On February 7, 2012, the consumer’s 10 year old daughter was attempting to complete the overhead course. As she transferred from the first to the second wheel, the second wheel began to spin. The spinning action of the wheels overpowered her grip, pulling her free of the equipment, resulting in a heels-over-head fall. She landed on her left side and hit her head on the mulch surface. The consumer’s daughter fell approximately 8 feet to the mulch surface below and suffered a grade 4 or 5 spleen laceration, collapsed lung, internal bleeding and loss of consciousness/ concussion. The school nurse contacted the paramedics, who transported the child to Carroll Hospital Center, where the child was diagnosed by CT and promptly transported by helicopter to Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore, MD. The child was in pediatric ICU overnight, and was on strict, medicated bed rest for 48 hours. The child remained in the hospital for 5 nights, 6 days. The consumer’s daughter was prescribed narcotics and was given IV support and oxygen. The consumer stated that her daughter’s body temperature exceeded 103 degrees F, and that ice packs and compresses were applied to the child. The child was required to complete breathing exercises for her lungs several times per hour. The hospital released the child from their care and she has not yet returned to school. The consumer mentioned that her child will see her primary care doctor on Monday, February 20,2012, and will meet with the trauma team at Johns Hopkins on Monday, February 27, 2012. The consumer attempted to contact the equipment manufacturer today, but has yet to receive a response. The consumer stated that the school system has conducted an investigation and found that the surface material is appropriate; the product was installed and maintained properly. She was informed of the school’s findings as of Monday of this week.
