Statistics are presented relating to all admissions to the Adelaide Children's Hospital as a result of accidental “happenings” over a three-year period. The causes of these accidents, the patterns of injury sustained, and the mortality are discussed. Evidence is adduced that accidents occurring on the roads are the most serious and most lethal, especially pedestrian and motor vehicle/cycle accidents. Some suggestions as to possible avenues of preventive activity are discussed and include the licensing of pedal cyclists, improved safety harnesses for child passengers and education of parents of child pedestrians, and more supervision of children on roads.
