We can talk of statistics, but as adults we are all aware that young children need constant supervision because their curiosity can sometimes turn very dangerous. Childproofing a home is an important part of a child’s growing up. But within that milieu, safety nets in balconies and staircases are crucial in protecting children from falls. These areas can be hazardous for young children, as they may not understand the dangers or have the physical ability to prevent an accident.
Balconies and staircases are especially dangerous for young children because they are not aware of the risks involved in a fall. Children may not understand that the railing is not a toy and the fact that leaning over the edge or climb on it can be hazardous. They may also not be able to recognize the dangers of falling from a balcony or staircase. Safety nets can provide an extra layer of protection for children by creating a barrier between them and the fall. So the benefits of having a safety net installed are plentiful:
