HOW TO ACT DURING ICY CONDITIONS (ICY CONDITIONS)
If the weather forecast gives a message about ice or sleet, take measures to reduce the likelihood of injury. Prepare low-slip shoes, attach metal pads or foam rubber to the heels, and stick a Band-Aid or insulating tape on the dry sole, you can rub the soles with sand (sandpaper).
Move carefully, taking your time, stepping on the entire sole. At the same time, the legs should be slightly relaxed, the hands are free. Elderly people are recommended to use a cane with a rubber tip or a special stick with pointed spikes. If you slip, sit down to lower the height of the fall. At the moment of falling, try to group up, and, rolling over, soften the impact on the ground.
