TOBOGGAN SAFETY

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) would like to remind parents and children of some basic toboggan/sledding safety tips as the winter season continues. Injuries may result from collisions with stationary objects on the hill, such as trees or rocks, or even collisions with other people. Unprotected falls can also result in more serious injury if you lose control at high speeds. However, everyone can be safe and have fun on the toboggan hill by following these simple reminders.

Equipment

• Always ensure your toboggan or sledding device is in good repair. Inspect it for any damaged or missing parts before each use;
• Be certain the operator is fully capable of staying in control of the sled at all times;
• Children should wear a certified, properly fitted helmet designed for other high impact sports such as hockey, cycling, or climbing.
