Wear a helmet. A helmet is the only thing between your skull and the pavement. E-bike, hoverboard, scooter, skateboard – whatever you ride -- a helmet keeps your skull in one piece.
The data:
Between 2013 and 2022, an average of 212,000 young people a year between the ages of 13 and 24 were injured in incidents related to Bikes, Mountain Bikes, Adult Tricycles, Scooters (powered, unpowered, unspecified), minibikes, e-bikes, skateboards, roller blades, and inline skates. Head injuries are one of the most common injuries.

Your cell phone. Put it away when you’re walking. You’re going to fall.
Fun fact: CPSC makes sure cell phones, headphones, smart watches, and dozens of electronic products are safe. If they’re not, we’ll conduct recalls with companies to get those products out of the market. If you think you found an unsafe product, report it to SaferProducts.gov.
The data.
Between 2013 and 2022, an average of 5,100 young people a year between the ages of 13 and 24 went to the emergency room with injuries related to using phones while moving.

Make sure the smoke alarms are working where you live. Check the batteries at least once a year. Stand by your pan and never leave your cooking unattended – it’s the number one cause of home fires.
The data:
Between 2013 and 2022, an average of 7,200 young people a year between the ages of 13 and 24 went to the emergency room with injuries related to home fire incidents. Each year, an average of 100 people aged 13 to 24 tragically die in residential structure fires. Residential structure fires include not only home fires, but all residential structure type buildings including hotels, dorms, barracks, apartments, and other living structures. These estimates include child-play fires – fires where a child intentionally set a fire during play – but do not include fires that were set intentionally otherwise, such as arson.

NEVER:
- Launch fireworks off your body
- Shoot fireworks at other people
- Try to relight “dud” fireworks
- Drink alcohol and use fireworks
People die doing these things ever year. Death by firework is bad.
DO: Light fireworks from a safe distance and launch them into the sky as intended.
The data:
Between 2013 and 2022, an average of 3,200 young people a year between the ages of 13 and 24 went to the emergency room with firework-related injuries. Many are missing hands and fingers. Some die.

Going Off Like Fireworks (Version 3) Lyrics, 130bpm, Am
Burning bright like diamonds in the sky
You and me are sending off some sparks tonight
I know I shouldn’t play with fire
That flame you’re lighting could get wild
You’re a rocket burning all aglow
Can’t help myself, I still want more
Yea, we burning bright bright
So hot we might ignite nite
Smokin hot like noone else
gotta step back before I burn myself
Oh you’re dangerous like dynamite
Let’s set it off
Let’s watch it light
I know I’m messing with a fatal heat
And I should walk away and let it be
But we lightin sparks with our energy
Chorus
We going off like fireworks x2
We gonna light up light up
Watch them sparkle sparkle
Watch them shimmer shimmer
All that glitter, glitter
Going off like fireworks
Yea the summer heat is telling us have fun fun fun
Yea this temperature is so hot i should run run run
Ooo we need to douse these flames with water water
Cause I don’t think that I could take this any hotter hotter
Chorus
I don’t need drugs no you’re what I’m craving
Throw me in water so I stop misbehaving
Light it up, light it up
Make the sky look like the 4th of july
Chorus

Push the limits, feel the thrill,
but don’t forget, to keep it real
Off road adventure, let’s do it right
Stay safe my friends, day and night
Push the limits, feel the thrill,
but don’t forget, to keep it real
Off road adventure, let’s do it right
