When winter weather hits, it can bring slips, trips, and falls. Learn how to protect yourself by walking like a penguin.
No matter how well the removal of snow and ice is from a given area, you may still experience some slippery conditions when walking outdoors in the winter.
To walk safely on snow and ice, walk like a penguin:
- Point your feet out slightly like a penguin.
- Bend your knees slightly and walk flat-footed.
- Extend your arms out to your sides to maintain balance.
- Take short steps or shuffle for stability.
