It was 74°F. A mild day.

A child went down a plastic slide — and left with serious second-degree burns.

That's from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Not a tabloid.

Here's what the data says:

• At 90°F outside, playground equipment hits 120–150°F
• Hot metal burns skin in 1–3 seconds
• Kids' ER visits for heat illness: up 170% since 2012
• Nearly 1 in 5 of those kids is hospitalized

So on the hottest days, kids stay in. And staying in has its own problem:

68% of kids ramp up screen time in summer
• The average kid: 5–7 hours a day on a screen

To be clear: we're all for outdoor play. It's the best thing there is.

But when outside isn't an option, the fallback shouldn't be a screen.

Kids climbing and swinging on a Brainrich indoor play gym at home

That's what an indoor gym is for. Not a replacement for the playground — a backup for every day it's out of reach. 12,500 families use ours daily:

"The temperature-controlled play space. It's never too hot or too cold to play."

P.S. Free tip for this weekend: press your palm on the slide for 5 seconds before the kids play. If you can't hold it there, neither can they.
