Kids are kids. And being a kid means running, jumping, playing, and, sometimes, crashing into mirrors. When a glass mirror breaks, it produces very fine shards of glass that can lead to skin punctures, lacerations, and even very painful eye injuries, potentially requiring complex surgery.

A safer alternative – Acrylic mirror sheet
Whilst we typically think of mirrors as being made from glass, a much safer alternative, with the same beautiful reflective finish, is available. Its use at the theme park could have spared this girl and her family the ordeal.
Known as acrylic sheet, acrylic mirror, or acrylic mirror sheet, it consists of Perspex that has been coated with a reflective sheet surface. It is lightweight, resistant to impact, flexible, easy to handle and cut, can be used on curved surfaces and even survives in areas where there is vibration. Being so lightweight, it can even be affixed to surfaces using double-sided tape.
Acrylic mirror sheet – the ideal mirror in children’s areas
We encourage all parents and facilities where children may be present to reduce the risk of potentially life-altering injuries to children from glass mirrors by using much safer acrylic sheet mirrors.
