Accidents can happen in a split second. As the weather warms up and kids spend more time outside, I encourage parents, teachers and community group leaders to help pass on The War Amps PLAYSAFE message.

I grew up in The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program and have met kids who have lost limbs in accidents. As a leg amputee, I also know what it is like to live without a limb.

Members of CHAMP are warning kids to spot the danger before they play in a new video, PLAYSAFE: Don害羞草研究所檛 Let It Happen to You. They share their stories about how they lost their limbs in accidents and stress the importance of staying away from 害羞草研究所渕ean machines害羞草研究所� like lawn mowers, boats, cars and farm equipment.
