Accident Report: School Playground Incident

Date of Incident: July 12, 2025


Time of Incident: 11:15 AM
Location: Greenwood Elementary School – Main Playground Area
Reporting Staff Member: Ms. Clara Jennings (Playground Supervisor)

1. Description of the Incident

On the morning of July 12, 2025, during the second recess period, an accident occurred involving a
student, Emma R., aged 9, in Grade 4. The student was playing on the monkey bars when she lost her
grip and fell to the ground. The fall was from approximately 1.5 meters.

2. Immediate Response

Playground supervisor Ms. Clara Jennings witnessed the fall and immediately approached the student.
Emma was conscious but visibly in pain and clutching her right arm. A first aid response was initiated,
and the school nurse, Mr. Daniel Cho, was called to the scene within two minutes. The nurse
immobilized the arm and advised that Emma be taken for further medical evaluation.

Emma’s parents were contacted at 11:25 AM and arrived at the school at 11:45 AM. They took her to
the local urgent care clinic for assessment.

3. Injuries Sustained

Later communication from Emma’s parents confirmed that she sustained a minor fracture to her right
wrist. She was placed in a soft cast and advised to rest the arm for 4–6 weeks.

4. Witness Statements

Several students in Emma’s class were nearby and reported that she had been attempting to skip two
rungs on the monkey bars, something she had successfully done in the past. There were no indications
of pushing, unsafe behavior by others, or faulty equipment.

5. Equipment Inspection

The monkey bars were inspected the same day by maintenance staff. The equipment was found to be in
good condition, securely anchored, and compliant with safety standards. The ground surface beneath
the bars is padded with rubber mulch, which helped minimize the impact of the fall.

6. Preventive Measures

 All students will receive a reminder on safe playground behavior during homeroom this week.

 Staff will increase supervision near climbing equipment during recess.

 A safety review of all playground equipment is scheduled for next month as a precaution.
7. Conclusion

The incident was an unfortunate accident resulting from a misstep during play. The school’s emergency
response was timely, and the injury was handled appropriately. No negligence or equipment failure was
involved.
