 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]Prevention
[edit]
To prevent injury and death by vending machine, tools are available that also double as theft prevention devices, including cages,[1][better source needed] alarms, and security cameras.[2] Anti-tip brackets that also double as earthquake damage mitigation devices[3] can be another solution, as well as stickers that warn of alarms and the dangers of tipping the machines.[4] Researchers have also noted that public awareness campaigns can dramatically decrease the number of injuries and deaths associated with vending machines.[5]
[My additions]: Vending machines have doubled since 2010, especially among young males. [6]
