this is how we roll

let’s roll safe, every time!

Wheeled sports are a great way to have fun, get active and enjoy the outdoors, but they can be dangerous!

Every year approximately 700 kids get hurt and visit Dayton Children’s emergency department with injuries from ATV’s, bikes, scooters, skateboards and other wheeled activities. Follow these tips to stay safe, every ride:

  • Make sure your child wears a helmet and correct protective gear for the activity every time.
  • Ensure your child’s wheels fit properly and are in good condition, not too big and not too small.
  • Teach your child safety and traffic rules before they ride.
  • Remember to use lights and reflectors when riding in the evening.

…now you are ready to roll!
