As an athlete I often went for a run by myself. While running along a canyon (峡
10、谷) road, I hit a piece of ice. I slipped down the rock face and fell 60 feet into the canyon, landing on a ledge (岩脊). Taz found his way to me, so I knew there must be a way out of the canyon, but I couldnt stand, as I had broken an important bone.I shouted for help but then decided to move to the b
11、ottom of the canyon first. The ledge was too dangerous to stay. It took me five hours to go a quarter of a mile. Eventually it got dark, and I decided to stay where I was for the night, next to a puddle of water. All I had on me was a water bottle and some chocolates. At night, I avoided sleeping fo
12、r fear of dying of hypothermia (低体温症). Taz stayed with me, providing some warmth. The next morning, I couldnt move at all. But I was sure somebody would hear me screaming for help. The second night in the canyon seemed even colder. My feet were frostbitten (冻伤). On the third day, I accepted the fact
13、 that I might die. I called Taz over and told him to go and get help.Taz returned, alone. Then I heard an engine in the distance. I started shouting for help, and then I saw a man walking towards me. It turned out that my neighbor noticed I hadnt come home, and Taz had found the rescue team. I was a

I couldnt run like I used to due to the after-effects of the accident, and cold weather brings back bad memories, but Im married with two kids, and Taz i

18、wa, the research found that placing children (especially infants and toddlers蹒跚学步的小孩) on adult laps increases the risk of injury to their lower legs, including broken bones.Ive seen a lot of these injuries all through my career, and I hadnt seen anybody talk about this problem, says Jennissen.So Jen
19、nissen and his colleagues found that about 350,000 children under the age of six were injured on slides in the U.S. from 2002 to 2015. Injuries were most common among kids from 12-23 months of age, and the most common injury was lower leg fractures (骨折).The researchers found that 94 percent of 600 c
20、ases include lower leg injuries. This is important, because thats not how a kid falling off a slide alone would usually get hurt. The fact that so many kids are getting lower leg injuriesand that those injuries seem to get less common as kids get oldersuggests something else is at play.Jennissen thi
21、nks that when children are sliding alone, they arent going fast enough or carrying enough body weight to hurt themselves. When theyre sitting on an adults lap and their foot gets caught, they have the added momentum of an adult body.We think a lot of these lower extremity injuries are because theyre
22、 on the lap, says Jennissen. We dont know that for sure, because no parents say that. But from my experience, and the data that suggests it, we think almost all of these are kids are on the lap.Jennissen isnt arguing that you should never go down the slide with your kidhe agrees that its fun and tha
