The winter season brings exciting opportunities for outdoor activities, including tubing, also known as "vatrooshki," and inflatable rings. However, it is important to remember that such activities can pose dangers if simple safety rules are neglected.
Key points to pay attention to:
- tubes can reach high speeds and are difficult to control, as they are not equipped with brakes;
- tubing near roads, trees, and people increases the likelihood of accidents;
- using homemade inflatable rings, such as car tires, is extremely unsafe;
- children often ride without adult supervision.
Recommendations to reduce the risk of injury:
- choose specially designated slopes;
- avoid riding while standing or with two people unless the design of the tube allows for it;
- always supervise children while they are tubing;
- explain safety rules in advance.
