Health Tip: Practice Safe Snowboarding
By LadyLively on November 29, 2013

Snowboarding, like any snow sport, can be dangerous if you fail to take a few precautions.
The American Academy of Family Physicians suggests these safety tips for snowboarders:
- Before you begin, make sure you’re in good physical shape and that you take snowboarding lessons.
- Make sure you use well-fitting equipment, including boots, snowboard and ski poles.
- Wear protective gear, including wrist guards, a helmet, and arm and shin guards.
- If you feel yourself starting to fall, keep fists closed, and try to roll into the fall.
