According to him, the number of injuries in pediatric traumatology is lower in winter than in summer, as children are usually dressed in warm jackets and hats that cushion falls.
Satyilganov noted that children who get injured on inflatable tubes often end up at the doctors. This type of entertainment can be compared to controlled transportation, where children, bouncing over bumps, can fly several meters, leading to serious injuries. Such incidents often end with collisions with obstacles, which also causes multiple injuries. In such cases, consultation with several specialists is necessary, not just traumatologists," he added.
In the doctor's opinion, riding on inflatable tubes is quite a dangerous activity. He emphasized that it is impossible to be insured against injuries and advised against allowing multiple children to ride on one tube simultaneously to avoid collisions and falls.
From Satyilganov's perspective, plastic sleds cannot reach the same speed as tubes and do not provide sufficient cushioning. "Iron sleds can be the most dangerous. While riding, one can not only get injured but also injure others," he noted. Parents should keep an eye on their children and not leave them unattended.
Furthermore, the doctor pointed out that currently, injuries from riding on tubes are not the main issue. In the last two to three years, there has been an increase in injuries related to traffic accidents involving scooters and electric scooters. "Young people often cross the road without paying attention to their surroundings, which leads to serious injuries," the traumatologist emphasized. He urged parents to explain to their children the importance of being cautious at pedestrian crossings and not running across the road.
