How to avoid Christmas related injuries

Nov. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- When I refer to Christmas related injuries I am talking about physical inflictions. Not the traumatic ones of dropping hints to your husband for 3 months about that very nice white gold bracelet only to open your present on Christmas day to find another pair of socks. Last year over 6000 individuals were treated in emergency rooms for Christmas decoration related falls. Icy conditions combined with a “Merry” spirit spells disaster for anyone hanging lights up a ladder, or a chair balancing on a table.

In this day and age you would think that we would have a solution to combat this problem. Well it may shock you to find out we do. IT’S CALLED COMMON SENSE. The following tips may just save you an icy drive to the emergency room this Christmas.

•   Use a ladder, the extra 5 minuets it takes you to rummage around in the shed will be well worth it
•   Make sure you have a person to hold the bottom of the ladder firmly when you are using it
•   Don’t over stretch yourself. If you cant reach it, move the ladder
•   Wait until after the decorations are up before you decide to celebrate with a drink

The above tips should help you avoid any unnecessary medical treatment this Christmas. If all of the above common sense is just too much for you to take in then spare the Doctors and Nurses this winter; spend a little over £10 and buy a “Premier Decorations AC83119” (Price includes delivery based on price listed at http://247electrical.co.uk). It may be the lazy way out but at least you wont spend your Christmas in a cast.
