Safety Tips: Snow and Sledding
Safety in the Snow
Please follow these sledding safety tips:
- Choose a hill that is not too steep and has a long flat bottom.
- Check for ice, bare spots, and tree stumps, and be aware of other sledders.
- Children should sit facing forward, feet first.
- Teach children to roll sideways off the sled if there is going to be a collision.
- Tell them to quickly move out of the way of other sledders when they reach the bottom of the hill.
- Never use feet as brakes.
