The countdown to Halloween is on!
The most common injury on Halloween is a risk for both children and adults.
So the most common injury on Halloween night is kids getting hit by cars, unfortunately.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for child pedestrians.
Parents need to make sure that the kids are in reflective clothing a lot of times the costumes are dark and it’s hard to see them.
The second most common injury on Halloween? It’s falling from running and/or uneven sidewalks.
Falls are actually one of the top injuries that we see in our trauma centers and people don’t realize.
Also honestly fireworks are still big during Halloween
The CDC also gives safety recommendations for Halloween night when it comes to COVID-19.
The CDC has advised that trick-or-treaters can return going door-to-door but they do recommend it’s outside and to avoid crowds.
