The Dangers of Extreme Stunts: Protecting Our Youth
Since the beginning of the year, there have been 8 reported cases of stunts in Ukraine, resulting in injuries to 9 children. In pursuit of fleeting videos and thrills, teenagers put themselves in grave danger.
Remember:
Electric shock, falls, or collisions with obstacles can have fatal consequences.
Why are stunts not just risky, but potentially deadly?
Voltage can reach up to 27,000 volts; even without touching wires, an electric shock can be instantaneous.
A fall from height – one wrong move can change everything forever.
Collisions with obstacles like bridges or tunnels at speeds of 60-100 km/h can be fatal.
What to do if you see someone on a train or vehicle?
- Notify the station attendant or railway staff.
- Call the Ukrainian Railway hotline: 0 800 503 111 (free).
- Contact the National Police (102) or the State Emergency Service (101).
- Remember the location of the incident for accurate reporting.
Parents, your vigilance is key to your children's safety!
Discuss the dangers of stunts with teenagers.
Monitor their social media activity; extreme videos can encourage risky behaviors.
Pay attention to new interests; a sudden fascination with transport or extreme stunts can be a warning sign.
TEENS, THINK TWICE!
Likes on social media aren't worth your life.
If friends suggest doing stunts – just say 'no'!
