ALT An infographic titled "How to Prevent Window Falls" shows a large window with multiple panes. Below the window, six safety tips are displayed in colored boxes: "Keep windows closed & locked when not needed for ventilation." "Avoid relying on window screens to prevent falls. Window screens are not designed to bear the weight of a child." "Install guards or stops to limit how far windows can open." "Encourage children to play away from windows & doors." "Avoid placing furniture near windows to limit climbing access." At the bottom right, there is a logo for the Harborview Injury Prevention & Research Center at the University of Washington and a link to their website: hiprc.org/windowfalls.

"...will save the lives of thousand of our soldiers..."
No, probably not. As Putin said, they would die from alcoholism...
Or windowfalls or bar fights or in the gulag...

Tragedies from #windowfalls can happen quickly! Screens are not strong enough to keep a child from falling. They keep bugs out, not kids in. Install window guards or stops to prevent a child from falling out of an open window. charlieshouse.org #windowsafetyweek🪟

The degree of injury sustained from a window fall can be affected by the surface on which the victim falls. Plant shrubs and soft edging like grass or place wood chips beneath windows to potentially lessen the impact if a fall does occur. #windowsafetyweek #windowfalls
