Skiing and snowboarding #tips🎿 Warm up and stretch before hitting the slopes. Cold muscles are more likely to strain or tear, especially in winter conditions. parachute.ca/en/injury-to... #TurnSafetyOn

Wear a helmet every time you skate, especially on outdoor or community rinks. A proper helmet can reduce the risk of head injuries if you fall or bump into another skater. parachute.ca/en/injury-to... #TurnSafetyOn

⛸️ Ice skating is a blast but falls and collisions can cause injuries. Pick smooth, clear ice and avoid cracks or holes. Warm up your legs and ankles before you step on the ice. parachute.ca/en/injury-to... #TurnSafetyOn
