WINTER SLIP FALL SAFETY TIPS
When ice is present, avoid walking directly on
the ice. If you cannot avoid, please do the
following
  • Take short steps or shuffle for stability.
  • Keep both hands free for balance, rather than in
    your pockets.
  • Bend slightly, walk flat-footed with your center
    of gravity directly over the feet as much as
    possible.
  • Be prepared to fall.
  • If you fall, roll with the fall.  Try to twist
    and roll backwards, rather than falling forward.
  • Relax as much as possible when you begin to fall.
  • Bend your back and head forward so you won't slam
    your head on the pavement as your feet shoot out
    from under you.
