Hi, I found this article on NY times and thought maybe you could post it as a caution. I'm sure we've all slid down a slide with a child on our lap, but were not aware of the risk we were taking. Thanks!

i call this helicopter parent irony.
Damned if yu do damned if you don't.
I call it common sense.
This happened to a friend of mine. I'm always extremely conscious of this risk now! I either send the little one down with someone to catch her or just keep her on the baby slide.
Wow...I never considered the risk involved, but I can clearly see the danger.
From now on, I will let my charges go down the slides alone.
Hope this doesn't happen to any more kiddos.
