Health Tip: Help Prevent Ice Skating Accidents (HealthDay News)
-- Ice skating is a winter ritual for many children in colder
climates, but unless precautions are taken it can be fraught
with the possibility of injury. The American Academy of
Pediatrics offers these ice skating safety guidelines: Never
allow children to skate on any surface that is not approved for
skating. It may not be safe. Call local officials to find out
where skating is allowed. Make sure your child skates in the
same direction as the crowd, not against it. Don't allow
children to dart across the ice in front of other skaters. Never
allow children to skate alone, or when they're chewing gum or
eating candy. Encourage your child to wear a helmet while
skating. - Multiple Head Injuries Raise Soldiers' Suicide Risk,
