Not emptying the kiddie pool
Wading pools and the small amount of water they may hold aren't often thought to be dangerous, but the frightening fact is that young children (and all children, including adults) can drown in just a few inches of water. It is therefore critical that while emptying the kiddie pool, you ensure that there is no trace of water and that wading pools be empty after each usage.
Starting a barbecue with gasoline
While the first half of our list focused on the risks of water, we must not overlook the perils of the other elements, particularly fire. Summer is generally linked with outdoor barbeques, and when cooking over an open fire, one should always use charcoal starter fluid rather than gasoline. Monitoring the fire is critical, and the cook should always be careful not to fuel it once it has begun because it can flare up quickly. More than 3 billion meals are served from backyard grills each year, with over 8,000 of those resulting in flames.
