Be especially careful when driving on bridges and overpasses. Note that in conditions of poor visibility pedestrians have little knowledge on the road. There is a great danger that people who cross the road, can slip and fall, therefore, approaching pedestrian crossings, reduce speed to a minimum. Regarding pedestrians, the only way to protect themselves from falls in the ice - be extremely careful not to hurry and not to flaunt his own skill. Special attention in the period of ice require sidewalks, walkways, landing pads public transport, staircase bridges and underpasses. In dangerous areas to move on the ice you need, imitating the movement when walking on skis: and a small sliding steps. For greater stability and need to move on bent legs and step on the entire sole. Waiting for the bus at bus stops, should stand away from the edge of the road to avoid slipping or falling under the wheels. The same applies to railway platforms. In no event it is impossible to cross the road in front of the car. Their braking distances in icy conditions can be unpredictable. If legs is not possible, it is better to fall under the rules, which will minimize the risk of injury. The main thing - do not fall on one point, and to distribute the impact force throughout the figure. Try to fall on its side instead of on his back. Thus it is necessary to lift the head, so as not to Bang the back of his head, and the muscles should not be very tight. You should not put before itself hands as a support on the ground - can be broken radial bone. Hands in the time of the fall you need to squeeze the breast. Falling, in any case should not sit down. In this way can very seriously injure the sacrum. Going to ice on the street, don't need to carry heavy things. If the fall damaged hand, she has to be kept in a stationary state. For this fit the sling of the handkerchief or scarf. If a really sore foot, do not try to get up. It is better to ask your companions or passers-by to take a bus from boards or long sticks and call «ambulance». If you fall hit the head, you should consult a doctor. The victim may not realize that he had a concussion. Elderly people better in the "slippery days" not to leave the house. But if needs must feel free to take a stick with a rubber tip or spike. If you have a bag, it must be only such that can be worn over the shoulder. Remember that two-thirds of the injuries people older 60 years of age receive in the fall. The pregnant women walking in icy conditions without maintenance is dangerous for health. Before leaving the house should take care of appropriate footwear. The most famous "popular" method of icing is stuck to the sole of an ordinary medical bandage and foam. All this will help to improve adhesion to the pavement. Can spread to the sole with glue, and then sprinkle on the sand. Another anti-icing agent - sandpaper. They RUB the soles before going outside. In the bitter cold another effective recipe for a night to RUB the sole of the Shoe with a mixture of grated potatoes (with peel), and then let stand for boots on the street. In addition, in pharmacies you can purchase ice cleats - special "Slippers" with spikes that are worn on top of shoes. In Shoe stores you can buy special horseshoes, and in workshops on repair of the boots can glue a special "anti-slip" material. To avoid the hassle, it is better to prepare for the winter boots or shoes with rubber soles with tread. About the shoes with heels more than 2-3 inches, and also the boots on the plastic outsole in ice it is better to forget.
