Skiing precautions, six things to pay attention to when skiing

Skiing is a very popular sport. The thrill of sliding down quickly from the high snow is something that not everyone can endure. The high speed of skiing determines the risks of skiing, especially for beginners. If you want to enjoy the fun of skiing safely, you must pay attention to the following things:

1. Use underwear

Skiing is a sport carried out in a cold environment, so how to choose and use it is very important. When a person is in motion, the body produces a lot of sweat, but when a person is not in motion, the heat and sweat produced are much less. When choosing underwear, it is best not to use cotton products, because cotton products have good water absorption. When the human body is in motion, cotton products will absorb a large amount of sweat discharged from the human body. When the human body is in a static state, the sweat on the cotton products is difficult to evaporate in a short time. The cold and damp cotton underwear stuck to the human skin will take away the heat from the skin surface, making people feel cold. At this time, the underwear should be changed in time.

In addition, you can wear a mesh nylon vest close to your body, and then put on a stretch cotton vest on the outside. In this way, the sweat discharged from the body will pass through the nylon vest and be absorbed by the stretch vest, and you will not feel cold. If your financial situation permits, you can choose a bra made of Sipulon, which is an advanced material in the world. It was once a national key research project and has been successfully developed in China. Its inner layer has a chemical fiber material with a one-way wicking effect, which does not absorb water itself, and the outer layer is cotton, which can absorb sweat on the cotton product, and the effect is very good.

2. Get to know the ski resort

When you first arrive at a ski resort, you should first get a general idea of ​​the ski resort. You should carefully understand the height, slope, length, width and surrounding conditions of the ski slopes, and choose the appropriate slope according to your skiing level. Be familiar with the distribution of ski resort facilities on the map, rescue situations in case of accidents, and strictly abide by the relevant safety management regulations of the ski resort. Pay attention to the opening hours of the ropeway and do not ride it when it is unattended.

3. Get your equipment ready

"In addition to the necessary snowshoes, snowboards and poles, the most important equipment for skiing is a helmet," experts said. Some skiers either think they are good enough or don't care about the cold and simply don't like to wear helmets or hats, which is very dangerous. Due to a person's weight and inertia, once he falls against the guardrail nearby, the safety of his head will be threatened.

4. Prevent frostbite

Frostbite refers to an injury accident caused by a person being in a low-temperature environment for a long time. Frostbite mainly occurs in the hands, feet, ears and other parts of the human body, so cashmere products or chemical fiber products with better thermal insulation effect should be used to insulate the above-mentioned parts. From the external environment:

1. Prepare enough warm clothes.

2. Don’t go skiing alone. If something happens, no one will know and no one will come to rescue you.

3. Do not ski out of the ski resort without permission, otherwise you will not meet the ski resort staff and will not get rescue.

4. Do not go skiing after drinking. Once you lie down outside while drunk, you are very likely to get frostbite.

5. Wear bright clothes so that you can be easily spotted if something happens.

6. When going out skiing, tell your family or friends where you are going skiing, how many people are going with you, and when you will be back, so that they can provide timely rescue in case of an accident.

7. The following are the medicines and methods that should be used after frostbite occurs, for reference only. Mild frostbite (Ⅰ and Ⅱ degree frostbite): furazolidone and hydrocortisone cream. Furoxil Cream (741 Frostbite Ointment). Neomycin sulfate cream (851 cream). 10% white pepper alcohol. Severe frostbite (III and IV degree frostbite): Avoid using incorrect methods such as rubbing with snow, soaking in cold water, and direct roasting with fire. The frozen part should be immersed in 40~42℃ warm water to thaw and warm quickly. Then quickly sent to the hospital for treatment.

5. Avoid obstacles

Winter is the peak season for skiing, and there are many tourists at the ski resorts. When skiing, you must pay special attention to keeping a distance from others. Once you find people or other obstacles on the road ahead, you can cross the front of your skis in an eight-shaped shape to slow down and stop in time.

6. Prevent Injury

Many people are afraid to participate because of safety issues. In fact, as long as you do your homework, recreational skiing is a very safe sport. Experts say that years of teaching experience have shown that not paying attention to warm-up is the main cause of injury. The temperature at the ski resort is low and the body becomes stiff. If the joints and muscles are not flexible, it is easy to get injured as soon as you start skiing.
