Walking safely on icy sidewalks? Do the penguin.
If you had told me that I would reblog a post that advises one to 'walk like a penguin', I probably wouldn't have believed you.
BUT.....here we are....facing yet another winter storm. This one seems, to me, to be more treacherous than the others.
Be careful out there, Folks. Take your time....and don't forget to 'walk like a penguin'! ;-)
Here in the Cleveland area we have been with hit hard with ice rain for the last 12 hours. Here is some advice for walking out there tomorrow:
Ø Bend slightly and walk flat-footed with your center of gravity directly over the feet as much as possible.
Extend your arms out to your sides to maintain balance.
ØKeep your hands out of your pockets. Hands in your pockets while walking decreases your center of gravity and balance. You can help break your fall with your hands free if you do start to slip.
ØWatch where you are stepping and… GO S-L-O-W-L-Y !!
Take short steps or shuffle for stability.
ØWear a heavy, bulky coat that will cushion you if you should fall.
ØTry to avoid landing on your knees, wrists, or spine. Try to fall on a fleshy part of your body, such as your side.
ØTry to relax your muscles if you fall. You’ll injure yourself less if you are relaxed.
