What are the safety issues when skiing?

There are many people who want to ski in winter. Although they want to try this sport, they don't necessarily understand skiing. In order to better ensure our safety when skiing, we need to learn more about skiing safety issues. So what are the safety issues in skiing? Let me tell you about this issue.

Methods/Steps

1. Prepare enough warm clothes. In addition to the necessary snowshoes, snowboards and poles, the most important equipment for skiing is a helmet. Wear brightly colored clothes so that you can be easily spotted if something goes wrong.

2. Don’t go skiing alone. If something happens, no one will know and no one will come to rescue you. When going out skiing, be sure to tell your family or friends where you are going skiing, how many people are going with you, and when you will be back, so that they can provide timely rescue in case of an accident.

3. Pay attention to warming up. The temperature at the ski resort is low and your body will be stiff. If your joints and muscles are not flexible, you will easily get injured as soon as you start skiing. Before going on the ski slope, you should mobilize multiple joints such as the hip, knee, ankle, and wrist. The correct skiing posture is to have your knees slightly bent, not straight. If the posture is correct, it will not only not hurt the knees, but also have a certain therapeutic effect on patellar softening.

4. Beginners who learn to ski should practice walking on flat ground first. After learning to walk, they can learn to ski. The basic skills of "walking" include walking with a snowboard, mountaineering walking in an eight-shaped posture, sideways walking, and walking with a snowboard that changes direction. Next, learn to glide on flat ground and on a slope. In addition, even if you have a basic knowledge of skiing, you should start from the beginner slopes and gradually upgrade to the advanced slopes.

5. Do not ski out of the ski resort without permission, otherwise you will not meet the ski resort staff and will not get rescue. When you feel yourself losing balance, you should fall backwards, slide down the slope naturally, and wait to stop slowly. There are three "don'ts" when you fall: don't use your hands to support yourself, don't move your arms and legs, and don't roll over.

The above is the relevant knowledge about skiing safety. I believe everyone must have gained more knowledge from it. In addition to knowing this knowledge, we also need to know more about ski equipment. After knowing these, we can be fully prepared for the sport of skiing. Finally, I hope everyone can enjoy skiing!
