There comes a traumatic time.
With the onset of cold and ice, more and more Ukrainians become victims of slippery roads.
From bruises and fractures does not protect even warm and volumetric wear.
We decided to figure out what to do in a situation if you fell and how to fall so as to cause a minimal amount of damage.
To go, as on a rope
Whether you go on the ice in the Parking lot or on a slippery section of the floor, the main thing — to keep balance. For this you need to do slow, short steps and his arms to the sides. Imagine that tightrope.
To control the center of gravity
Let’s say you slipped and began to fall back. You feel helpless, and the first reaction is likely to be erratic flapping his arms in an attempt to grab something and protect other body parts from impact during a fall. But it would be better to act more decisively to throw the hands forward and upward to the center of gravity moved forward. This may not be enough, not to fall at all.
Push hands to the sides
If the previous tip didn’t help, and you still fall everything inside will scream: “Amortizing punches!” It is a natural instinct, coupled with the belief that you somehow will be able to catch themselves. We need to resist this instinct and to give up at the seams. Especially if you fall back. Because otherwise you can break the wrist. If you press the hands to the sides, it is on hand and you will fall, and what we need to achieve. Wrists and hips break easily, but the hands are not easy, especially if you stretch muscles before impact.
Try to land on the ass
If you can fall directly on the fifth point. And then, in one smooth motion necessary to roll on the hip of the leg that slipped, to distribute the force of impact. If you fall forward and do not have time to turn around to land on the ass, try to fall into the position for push-UPS. So you can avoid injuries to the head (or face) and bent elbows absorb a blow to the wrists.
If you fell and feel that the injury is serious, you should contact the clinic, which is in every district of Kiev. According to the doctor-expert of Victor Litvinenko, if you fell and after a while I felt pain in the head, nausea, pain in the joints, if formed tumors – immediately contact the emergency room, otherwise complications can arise with bad consequences.
The Department of health of Kyiv city state administration calls on Kyiv citizens and guests of the capital to be careful due to icy conditions in the city, and in the case of injury be sure to seek medical help. The Department also provided a list of health facilities that provide first aid.
