Which range of distances between interior opposing surfaces presents an entrapment hazard on playgrounds?

  1. 2 to 4 inches

  2. 3.5 to 9 inches

  3. 5 to 10 inches

  4. 6 to 8 inches

The correct answer is: 3.5 to 9 inches

Playground safety guidelines state that open spaces between play equipment should be no greater than 3.5 inches and no smaller than 9 inches. This range is important because it prevents children from getting trapped and potentially injured. Option A (2 to 4 inches) is incorrect because it is too small and does not allow for proper ventilation. Option C (5 to 10 inches) is also incorrect because it falls outside of the recommended range. Option D (6 to 8 inches) is too small and may cause entrapment, while still not allowing for proper ventilation. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it falls within the recommended range and promotes safety on playgrounds.
