Your Life Is At Risk When You Are On Ice: 3 Tips
Winter is a lot of fun, but it can also be dangerous. One of the biggest dangers is ice. It might look like something sturdy, but once you step on it, it may not be able to hold your weight. You may have heard about the tips on how to walk on ice like a penguin. But the situation can be worse than that. If you fall through ice and are unable to pull yourself out, there are things you can do to help yourself or someone else survive until rescuers arrive.
Keep a good traction agent in your bag at all times
Traction agents create friction between your shoe and the surface. Walk on Ice is composed of geo-crystals that have absorbent and gripping properties. To create a non-slip surface, the ‘absorbers’ soak the water while the ‘grippers’ grip the snow. Walk On Ice is safe for your pets and children, unlike salt-based products. It is non-corrosive and will not damage your concrete and asphalt. The all-natural components of this product do not burn your vegetation and keep your greenery healthy.
Walk on ice like a penguin
You should walk on ice like a penguin. That’s right, penguins have natural instincts for walking on ice, and so can you. The secret to walking like a penguin is simple: move your feet closer together than you would normally do when just walking around
It may look funny at first, but it’s actually the most stable way for humans to walk on slippery surfaces
Using ropes to reach yourself is a good idea.
If you fall through the ice, it’s important to know how to get yourself out. You can use a rope tied around your waist as a kind of lasso so that you can reach out and pull yourself back in. If there’s no one around to help you with this, tie it around your wrist instead; that way if someone else falls through, they’ll have another way to get themselves out of the water.
Don’t go on the ice by yourself.
Go with a friend or group. You should never venture out on the ice alone. This is not only because you won’t be able to help yourself if you fall into the water, but also because it can be difficult to find someone who has fallen through the ice in time. If you’re with at least one other person, they can call for help while helping pull you out of the water.
