Parent Tips for Healthy Kids

Sledding? How Not to End Up in the ER
  • Wear helmets. Sleds can reach speeds of 20 to 25 mph. You may prevent serious head trauma from a crash if you wear a helmet.
  • Find a hill with a flat run at the end. Avoid places where the hill bottom meets a street, parking lot, or frozen pond.
  • Dress in bright colors and layers.
  • Use a sled with a steering mechanism for more control. Avoid inflatable snow tubes. They move fast, can’t be steered, and you can be thrown from them easily if you hit a bump.
  • Always sit facing forward.
