Health check tonight, zip lines they are red hot for recreation parks, summer camps even some cruise ships have them but the injuries from them are growing along with their popularity. Health reporter and registered nurse ali gorman is the at the big board with word on the First National study on zip lines. Ali. Guys, yeah, zip lines used to be just for the extreme adventurer. In 2001, there were just 10 commercial zip lines. 2012, there were more than 200 and there are 13,000 amateur ones in camps and even backyards but as their popularity has gone up, so has the number of injuries. A new study says over a 16year period, more than 17,000 people went to Emergency Rooms in the u. S. With zip linerelated injurie injuries. 70 percent of them were in the last four years which shows us that this is a growing trend. In fact, in 2012 alone, there were over 3,600 injuries which was about 10 a day. Now about half of those hurt were 10 years old or younger and threequarters of them had broken bones from falls. Now many zip lines are not regulated or subject to safety standards. But study leaders of course say that they should be and they called for uniform standards to keep people safer. There are new signs americas love affair with soda is waning not only are sales of full calorie soda continuing to drop within two years bottled water is expected to overtake soda as the biggest seller. And the change is happening faster in philadelphia than the country as a whole. Even without a soda tax the number of teenagers in the city drinking soda went down 24 percent between 2007 and 2013. And besides cutting soda, we know getting enough sleep can also help prevent weight gain. But for teenagers that may not be enough. A new study shows just going to bed late can also lead to putting on the pounds. A new study from uc berkeley finds if a teenager goes to bed late around 11 00 or 12 00 theyre at a greater risk for weight gain even if they get the recommended amounts of sleep. Researchers followed more than 3,000 young adults and found a late bedtime was associated with an increase in body mass. So for a teenaged girl 5foot five weighing 132 pounds and going to bed late from the period of adolescence to adulthood, the study found that shell gain 12 pounds. But while the researchers say sleep duration and exercise did not make a difference, they do say fast food was a factor. If youre going to bed late, youre more like to reach for pizza or french fries than of course for a salad or other healthy option. Monica and rick, back over to you. Thank you ali.
