Sledding Safety Tips
Use Safe Gear
- Pick a sled that has brakes and can be steered.
- Wear a helmet (whether winter or bike helmet) while sledding.
- Wear a hat, gloves or mittens, snow pants, winter jacket, and snow boots. Make sure scarves are tucked into coats so they don't get caught under the sled.
Be Safe While Sledding
- Young kids (5 and under) should sled with an adult, and kids under 12 should be watched at all times.
- Everyone should sit face-forward on their sleds with their feet downhill.
- Everyone should go down the hill one at a time and with only one person per sled (except for adults with young kids).
- Walk up the side of the hill and leave the middle open for other sledders.
- Don't ever pull a sled with a moving vehicle (like a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle).
- It is best to sled during the day. For sledding at night, make sure the path is well lit.
