Matters needing attention in walking in ice and snow

1. Try not to go out by bike, whether it's a bike, motorcycle or electric car. Traveling on ice and snow is difficult to control. Cold leads to stiff hands and feet, and it is easy to fall and hurt yourself or others.

2. Choose non-slip shoes or warm cotton shoes, and don't wear leather shoes, plastic shoes or hard-soled shoes. Poor skid resistance, easy to slip. Ladies should not wear high heels to avoid falling or spraining their lower limbs.

3. When walking, don't put your hands in your pockets, and your upper limbs will swing naturally, which is beneficial to your balance. When you slip, you can protect your head from falling with your hands.

4. Walk slowly and pay attention to the road conditions, especially for the elderly, especially when the reaction is slow. Teenagers should not play, run or skate on the road to avoid hurting themselves or others.

Don't support the ground with your wrist when you suddenly fall. This posture is easy to cause forearm and hand fractures (Currie fractures), so you should consciously land on your side to increase the stress area on the ground.

6. Don't get up immediately after falling. First move your limbs slowly to make sure there is no obvious damage, and then get up slowly. Otherwise, the fracture will cause displacement and aggravate the injury.

7. For those who are found to have serious falls, they should stay still and call 120 for help quickly, because the treatment of various fractures requires local immobilization and local fixation, and requires professional treatment.

8. On snowy days, when the sun is strong, you can wear sunglasses to protect your eyes and pay attention to preventing snow ophthalmia. Visual stimulation can easily lead people to ignore the situation under their feet and slip easily.
