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.
