2. Use the teeter totter on a leveled surface. Never used on concrete or hard surface.

3. Make sure the surfaces, either indoors or outdoors, are free of objects that may cause
tipping over.

4. Always place the teeter totter at least 6 feet away from any structure or obstruction.

5. Lock the teeter-totter with the strap locks when not in use.

6. Make sure bystanders are at least 5 feet away from the teeter totter while it is in motion.

7. Keeps hands and feet away from the pivot area.

CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR
PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that about 100,000 playground
equipment-related injuries resulting from falls to the ground surfac e are tr eated annually in U.S. hospital emer genc y
rooms. Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be am ong the m ost ser ious of all playground injuries, and have
the potential to be fatal, particularly when the injury is to the head. The surface under and around playground
equipment can be a maj or fac tor in deter m ining the injury-causing potential of a fall. It is self evident that a fall onto
a shock absorbing surface is less likely to cause a serious injury than a fall onto a hard surface. Playground
equipment should never be placed on hard sur f ac es s uc h as c onc rete or as phalt and while gr ass may appear to be
acceptable it may quickly turn to hard packed earth in areas of high traf fic. Shredded bark mulch, wood chips , fine
sand or fine gravel are considered to be ac ceptable shock absor bing surfaces when installed and maintained at a
sufficient depth under and around playground equipment.

The following table lists the maximum height from which a child would not be expected to sustain a life­threatening head injury in a fall onto four differ ent loose-fill surf acing materials if they are installed and maintained
at depths of 6, 9, and 12 inches. However, it should be recognized that all injuries due to falls cannot be prevented
no matter what surfacing material is used.

Fine Gravel 6 7 10

It is recommended that a shock absorbing mater ial should extend a minim um of 6 feet in all dir ections from
the perimeter of stationar y equipment such as climber s and slides. However, because children may deliberately
jump from a m oving swing, the shoc k absorbing m ater ial should extend in the f ront and rear of a s wing a m inim um
distance of 2 times the height of the pivot point m easured from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting
structure.

This information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-absorbing properties of various
material. No particular material is recommended over another. However, every material is only effective when
properly maintained. Materials should be checked periodically and replenished to maintain correct depth as
determined necessary for your equipment. The choice of a material depends on the type and height of the
playground equipment, the availability of the material in your area, and its cost.
