Backpack Safety
The Backpack Dilemma
A 2003 study showed that 74.4% of backpack users were experiencing back pain, significantly poorer general health, more limited physical functioning, and more bodily pain
1/3 of the children who reported experiencing back pain missed school, visited a doctor, or completely abstained from any physical activity
The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 7,277 ER visits each year result from book bag related injuries. They also report that backpack related injuries are up 330% since 1996.
