Describe this playground safety tip:
When children are playing on playground equipment, adult supervision is extemely important for younger children as well as older children. Usually it is not the equipment that fails, rather it is the child's behavior that causes an injury. If an adult is present, he/she can monitor the children at play and make sure that they are using the equipment properly. Younger children, especially, may need help to use certain equipment. The adult can make sure that they are using equipment that is appropriate for their age and ability. If an accident does occur, the adult can be on hand to give first aid if needed.
