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.
