CAUTION, ICY!

When there is ice, the number of street injuries, wounds, joint railings and fractures significantly increases. Ice is especially dangerous for older people, since they are the first to be injured when they fall.
You and I should know some methods and techniques that we should not question so as not to become victims. First of all, design shoes with non-slip heels. Step on the existing paw and move carefully, without rushing. At this time, your legs should be tense and your hands should be free. Older adults are advised to use a cane with a rubber tip or a cane with a spiked end. If you slip, you need to sit down to reduce the height of your fall. If you fall, try to roll and fall gently to the ground. Don't worry about saving the things you have. Do not rush to get up, examine yourself, it is quite possible that an injury has occurred, seek help from ladies passing by.
It is very important not to approach a moving car during icy conditions, and also take into account that the pedestrian path, public transport stops, store entrances and even the owner’s threshold are places where people often fall.
Use handrails when walking on stairs. Try walking along a sandy road.
When there is ice, it is dangerous to fall with your back facing the sky, as a concussion may occur. See a doctor for medical attention if you are injured.
Remember! Caution and caution are your best defense against winter injuries.
