Skiing safety tips
Tips for an undisturbed skiing pleasure
Equipment
Make sure you have the right equipment
- •
Before every season you should have your ski and binding checked by a professional expert.
- •
Wear your ski helmet! Not only during skiing, but also during sledding, many accidents occur in which the head is affected.
- •
What is good for children can not be bad for adults. Adult skiers and snowboarders are just as at risk as children.
Be an example and wear a helmet on the slopes.
On the piste
Warm-ups & make breaks
- •
Get warmed up! Your muscles react faster when your body is warmed up, which means many injuries to ligaments and joints can be prevented.
- •
Do some playful exercises with your children, such as jumping jack or have a snowball fight. It’s a lot of fun and warms your body up
- •
Since the effect of the warm up disappears quickly after sitting or standing for a long time, you should do your warm-up exercises after your lift journey
- •
Take regular breaks. Accident statistics show a high correlation between the symptoms of fatigue, such as lack of concentration, and increased accident frequency.
Piste rules
You can also prevent accidents by adhering to a few piste rules:
- •
Always look up before you set off
- •
Don't confuse the slopes with a ski race track
- •
Don’t leave the secured pistes
- •
Don't stand in a spot with poor visibility
- •
Give slower skiers a priority
- •
Only go up/down the edge of the piste, and take a break
- •
Don’t drink any alcohol (it decreases the reactivity t and leads to overestimate your own abilities)
TIP: Rent your skiing gear
