Jan. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Walking on the ice and snow can be extremely dangerous if you are not fully prepared when venturing out.

“There are many things to remember when heading out to walk in the icy conditions but the main thing to remember is to not head out unless it is completely necessary ” said a spokesperson from Bad Credit Loans 4 You who specialise in bad credit dental loans http://www.bad-credit-loans-4-you.co.uk/bad-credit-dental-loans.html

British explorer David Hempleman-Adams, who has spent a lot of time walking on snow, as he was the first person to reach the North Poles and South Poles suggests that walking like a Penguin is the safest way of walking when on ice he states

“ Take your lead from the Penguin on slippery compact snow and ice, take short, careful, flat-footed little steps, spreading your body weight as evenly as possible across the entire surface of your feet”                              

“In fresh snow, try to walk in someone else’s footsteps. Not only will you use up less energy, but also their shoes will have left a read mark, which will be easier for your feet to grip.”

“And on deeper snow, always walk heel to toe. Applying your heel first will a hole, which prevents your foot slipping”

Another obvious but often overlooked reason for slipping on the ice or snow is your choice of footwear.

It is often thought that trainers are a good choice of shoe to prevent slipping however, Gary Mason, Store Manager at Millets, the outdoor specialists stated “Just because they give you good grip on a squash court or pavement, they are not going to do the same on snow and ice”

“Depending on your budget, you will need wellies or walking boots. With a deep, strong rubber tread, are good for all types of snow and slush”

Another way to avoid the slip is to use walking sticks. Or Nordic Poles if they were to be given their proper name.

“They give you an extra leg, or an extra two if you double up” said Hempleman-Adams.

A great way of preventing yourself slipping up is getting a pair of ice grips, which can slip over your shoes and they are available from the low price of £9.19p

Something that is only available in America and on certain websites is a spray on snow.

“Even when taking all the above precautions though, accidents can still happen and unfortunately accidents such has falling on your face and losing teeth or dislocating or breaking bones can leave you out of work for a while causing you to require a bad credit loan, as statutory sick pay at just over £79 a week would not cover the dental surgery if it was required” said a spokesperson from Bad Credit Loans 4 You, who specialise in loans for such things as dental surgery, cosmetic surgery etc. http://www.bad-credit-loans-4-you.co.uk/cosmetic-surgery-...

Even though you may fall, here is some advice on the best ways to fall to prevent a really serious injury.

Dr Galloway stated “the elderly should try and avoid falling on their hip. Instead they should try to prevent the fall by protecting themselves with their hands – although this may put them at risk of a wrist fracture, this injury is far easier to treat”

“The under-55s should look out for their heads and neck, again by cushioning the blow with their non-dominant hand”

“In an ideal world, everyone should wear protective head gear, but the social stigma attached to this makes it highly unlikely they will.”

We hope this guide will help keep you safe on the snow and ice this winter.
