Abstract

Many children enjoy sledging as a fun winter pastime, but injuries can occur, often to the very young, and despite direct parental supervision. We have previously reported sledging related injuries at our institution and suggested some simple safety precautions. This study aimed to evaluate if there had been any change over time.
