The City of Burlington issued the following tips to help ensure safety while tobogganing:
-
Toboggan during daylight hours, not when it is dark.
-
Toboggan when the hill is snow covered, not when it is icy or bare.
-
Check the hill and make sure it is free of obstacles and toboggan in the designated area.
-
Wear a helmet designed for winter sports.
-
Use a toboggan that is in good shape and has brakes and steering.
-
Avoid wearing scarves or any clothing that could get caught in a toboggan and cause injury.
-
Always sit down and face-forward on a toboggan.
-
Do not build jumps or other obstacles on the toboggan hill.
-
Walk up the side of the hill and leave the middle open for others coming down the hill.
-
If you fall off of your toboggan, move out of the way to avoid being hit.
