Hammock or
hospital bed?
Tips for summer safety from the Siskinds personal injury lawyers.
Summer would be a bummer if you had to spend it in a hospital bed. Unfortunately, serious
accidents and injuries commonly occur in the summer months, so it does happen.
Here are ways to prevent summer-activity mishaps, so you can avoid a hospital bed
and kick back on an inflatable pool flamingo or under a beach umbrella instead.
CYCLING
You don't need to wear
head-to-toe spandex to
go biking. But you do
need to wear a helmet. It
could save your life if you
are struck or fall from
your bike.
BACKYARD POOL FUN
Is this the summer your
belly flop becomes a
perfect swan dive?
Practise safely; slipping
on a pool deck or hitting
your head on a diving
board can cause
concussion or a
fractured skull.
HOME RENOS
Conquered your fear of
heights and taking on a
roof repair this summer?
Climb carefully. Ladder
falls at home increase
when the warm weather
arrives. Always check the
ladder before using it.
Make sure it's secure and
wear slip resistant shoes.
HIKING
It's easy to get caught up
in the scenic beauty of
hiking trails, but make
sure to watch your step.
Common injuries
suffered from hiking can
include slips, trips and
falls. Avoid rushing
through trails and be
sure to scan ahead for
potential hazards.
SWIMMING
If there's an undertow,
know before you go.
Even strong swimmers
are at risk. Be aware
and make sure kids are
actively supervised.
WATER SPORTS
An adrenaline rush on
the water is exciting.
A body cast isn't.
Whiplash and neck
sprains are common
water sport injuries.
Ride at safe speeds in
optimal weather and
don't go out alone.
ROAD TRIPS
Life is a highway. If
you wanna ride it all night
long, know that
distracted driving is one
of the leading causes of
fatal car collisions. Stay
alert, drive within the
speed limit and always
use a seat belt.
CAMPFIRES
Kumbaya can turn into
Kumbay-ouch pretty
quickly. Tripping into
a fire pit is a major
hazard, one more
likely to happen when
alcohol is involved.
Be mindful and use
designated fire pits.
