Not wearing a life jacket
Play it safe if you're on the water and the weather becomes bad. Every year, 74 million Americans love boating trips, which is a good amount for fun-filled holiday vacations. However, watersports and boating activities come with a number of risks, such as passengers falling overboard and vessels capsizing or colliding. If boating is something you and your family enjoy, be sure everyone onboard is wearing a UL-approved life vest that suits their size and weight. Anyone, no matter how strong a swimmer they are, can drown in fast-moving water.
Leaving your child in the car
It boggles our minds that individuals would do this, but if it's 80 degrees outside, the interior of a parked automobile may reach 120 degrees in an hour. That's a lot of heat. Last year, 24 children died as a result of hyperthermia after being left in hot cars. This caution also applies to animals. Babies and toddlers frequently fall asleep in moving automobiles, so it's easy to overlook them in the rear seat. Remember to check the back seat every time you get out of the car. Prevention is unquestionably preferable to cure.
