Stay Safe on Ice and Snow. When in Doubt, Walk Like a Penguin.

Elissa Doebel | December 31st, 2019

Winter is here and you never know when you will find a slippery spot walking outdoors. Reacquaint yourself with how to navigate slick icy surfaces.
When in doubt, walk like a penguin.
Lean forward just a little and keep your center of gravity over your front leg.
Shuffle your feet and take short steps. Keep your arms at your sides.
Remember…It’s all about balance.
Think of yourself as a penguin and you will be all right on ice.
BVRMC wants you to stay safe while walking in hazardous conditions this winter.
