Have a glass coffee table in your home? Well . . . it’s basically a DEATH TRAP!!
True story.
According to a new study from Rutgers, that glass coffee table in your family room is a total safety hazard.
The findings are that glass tables cause over 2.5 million injuries a year . . . with kids and young adults being the most likely to hurt themselves.
Researchers looked at over 3,000 cases and here are some of the top stats they have found to be accurate:
1. The groups that hurt themselves the most are little kids and young adults in their early 20’s. Maybe because both groups are more likely to climb or stand on them.
2. 55% of injuries involved deep cuts. But tripping over a glass table you didn’t see also happens a lot.
3. The body parts you’re most likely to hurt on a glass table are your wrist, hands, and fingers. But not always from putting your hand through glass. A lot of people cut themselves picking up broken glass AFTER a table breaks.
4. Men are more than twice as likely as women to hurt themselves on a glass table.
. . . So, there’s that.
