FAQ's re: Ski and Snowboarging Helmuts

 It's a safe bet there will be many children playing and frolicking

at the Slopeside Tubing Park. 

If you have kids (or are one yourself), please take the time

to read the following winter notice

which was kindly provided to info@hvha.ca by

Marty McKinney,

Fire Chief of HVVFD. 

 Sledding Safety

Tobogganing is one of several great outdoor sports that make Canada’s cold, snowy winters more bearable, and enjoyable. Every year however, people are injured on the slopes. Whether by falls or collisions, snow sport enthusiasts break bones, and suffer head injuries, abrasions, cuts and sprains. To minimize the risk of injury while having fun, learn how to toboggan and sled safely.

Remember:

• Only sled down hills with a gentle slope that have lots of room to stop.
• Sled during daylight.
• If you are out at night make sure the hill is well lit.
• Choose a sled or toboggan that is easy to control.
• Put a helmet on children (hockey helmets do the job).
• Tuck in scarves, strings, and long toques.
• Wait until the path is clear before starting down the hill.
• Always sit or kneel facing forward.
• Children under five years of age must be with an adult on the toboggan.
• Roll to the side if you have to get off in a hurry.
• Watch for other people coming down the hill behind you.
• Quickly get out of the way when you reach the bottom.
• Keep to the side of the hill away from people coming down climb
• when you climb back up the hill.

Avoid:

• Hills that are too steep.
• Hills that are too icy.
• Hills that have too many obstacles (trees, bumps, etc.).
• Inner tubes, crazy carpets, flying saucers, garbage bags and cardboard boxes.
•  They are difficult to control.
• Overcrowding a toboggan with too many riders.
• Going down hill head first (no lying down).
• Racing down the hill (on foot or on the sled).
• Using your hands and feet to stop the toboggan if you lose control
