Safety on Halloween -
Most people think of Halloween as a time for fun and treats. However, roughly four times as many children aged 5-14 are
killed while walking on Halloween evening compared with other evenings of the year, and falls are a leading cause of injuries

children during trick-or-treat activities. |
