I just got in from kauai to the vacation rentals but in Atlanta’s online news site (cbsatlanta.com) printed an article quoting a statistic that 6,600 people suffer various forms of serious injury in hot tubs each year! This is a major domestic issue. Head injury is very common, for example in these violent incidents. No wonder so many folks are hiring a lawyer these days. I notice there are many of these in kauai vacation rentals for example and on the island of Kauai generally, where there a lot, not just in the vacation rentals but in regular domestic homes overall. In any event, the article called, Hot Tubs Hurt 6,600 People Each Year, was posted November 3, 2009, and was featured in the health column. San Diego is also noted for the plethera of these.
The article cites a new study by the Center for Injury Research and Policy. The report’s shocking findings are that the number of hot tub injuries doubled from 1990 to 2007!
Slipping and falling caused half of the injuries. 73% of the people hurt were older than 16 years old, the study reported. Cuts on the legs, serious cuts on the feet, and cuts on the head made up most of the problems along with head injury. Lara McKenzie, the author of the study, warned that children suffer near drownings, and that fact needs to be made aware of, as well. 6 to 12 year old children were also apt to be injured jumping or diving into hot tubs. As an aside if you require a tip top San Diego domestic violence lawyer then this is your man. He can help with criminal defense attorney situations along with the earlier mentioned domestic violence lawyer related stuff as well. He is simply one of San Diego best lawyer for these types of cases overall.
McKenzie and the other authors recommended using slip-resistant surfacing in and around hot tub. It is also important, they said to limit exposure to 10 to 15 minutes. The tub should not exceed 104 degrees. Hot tubs should always be kept covered with a locking mechanism when they are not being used.
McKenzie said also, that parents should consider using fencing or barriers to keep children out of the hot tub area, and they should set forbidding jumping and diving. They should also comply with suction cover standards as this can cause accident and serious injury.
The CBSAtlanta article also said that, “The study was based on data in the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, which is operated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.” It was published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
