Stuntman Shares Tips On Right Way To Fall On Ice

During the winter snow storms, ice is everywhere. It is really easy to fall and hurt yourself. In light of recent weather and accidents, a professional stuntman decided to share how to fall without getting hurt. While some people may think it's funny when you fall down, you can seriously injure yourself on ice, if you are not careful. No matter your age, these tips are important to pay attention to and utilize during the winter season.

The natural thing to do is to lean backward and to throw out your arms to break your fall. But this stuntman describes why that is not the best thing to do. Falling like that can result in a serious injury. The trick is to bend your knees, twist your side, and tuck your head. Why is this technique necessary? It helps to prevent a very bad injury like hurting your back or your wrist.

Also, you are shortening the distance between the ground and your body. You are also moving delicate parts of your body out the way. These three tips are so helpful. It may seem like a silly thing, but ice injuries are nothing to laugh about!
