How to Walk on Ice
Instructions
-
-
1
Wear boots or sturdy shoes with non-skid soles. Don't try walking on ice in shoes that have no traction.
-
2
Take your time. Getting in a hurry increases your chances of a fall because you're not paying attention.
-
3
Pay attentive to ice that can be covered with snow. When you think you're in the clear you could still hit a patch and fall.
-
4
Balance yourself with your arms. Get your hands out of your pockets and distribute the weight of packages evenly to give you better balance.
-
5
Take short shuffling steps and avoid an erect posture. Walk as flat footed as possible.
-
6
Get help from someone who is wearing appropriate shoes or is more confident than you. Never be ashamed to ask for someone's arm to help you across a patch of ice.
