Winter Sports Safety
Participation in winter sports activities promotes regular physical activity and can have great health benefits. However, if you are not properly prepared, these activities may lead to injury or even death. According to Education.com, each year children ages 0-14 account for more than 52,000 injuries involving skis, snowboards, snowmobiles, and sleds. Enjoy your winter sports but prevent injury by following these simple safety tips:
Skiing and Snowboarding :
* Some of the most severe injuries when skiing are to the head. The single most important thing you can do to protect your head is wear a helmet.
* Forty-four percent of skiing/snowboarding head injuries could be prevented by a helmet.
* Make sure you find a proper fitting helmet and use a size chart for assistance.
* Check equipment such as helmets, shoes, skis, skates, goggles and snowboards to make sure they fit comfortably and are not broken. Adjust safety bindings for skis at least once a year; snowboarders should wear gloves with built-in wrist guards.
