With summer holiday planning in full-force, there\u2019s no better time to review how to keep your summer holiday injury-free with a few tips. As people flock to resorts and theme parks, there are many dangers that could easily be avoided. Some of the most common injuries incurred during the summer vacation season include water sports injuries, swimming injuries and resort-related injuries. Read on for some helpful tips and keep your holidays memorable and injury-free.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Did you know there are roughly one million falls treated in emergency rooms each year? Many of these falls result in hip fractures. You can avoid most falls by being cautious around slippery areas such as pools and patio areas that often do not have non-slip surfaces. Showers and tubs are also slippery areas prone for falls. Make sure to use handrails when they\u2019re available and try to keep floors as dry as possible.<\/p>\n And when there\u2019s a party, there\u2019s often food and drink spillage. Look out for dropped food or a drink spilt on the floor when hitting a dance floor, walking through lobbies and club houses.<\/p>\n Cruise ships are another opportunity to trip and fall because they often experience changes in elevation, so be aware of your surroundings and don\u2019t peer over railings or platforms. Opt to stay in your room until storms and choppy waters pass.<\/p>\n While activities like jet skiing and parasailing may look like an exciting way to take in beach scenery, these activities can be deadly. Florida passed the nation\u2019s first parasailing law which regulates many aspects of its safety however, there are still risks; especially if you\u2019re inexperienced. You can still enjoy these amazing experiences, but do some research beforehand and understand the risks and the warning signs, like bad weather and faulty equipment, to look out for.<\/p>\n Also, while many people know that a life jacket is required when riding in a boat or on a jet ski,\u00a0the US Coast Guard has also determined that stand up paddle boards require a life jacket<\/a>. The Coast Guard also recommends testing the buoyancy of your life jacket – by wearing it in shallow water or pool with supervision you can relax your body to see how the life jacket floats you. It\u2019s wise to wear a life jacket even if you\u2019re an experienced swimmer – many ocean swimming-related deaths occur near the shore in calm water.<\/p>\nKeeping a firm foothold<\/strong><\/h3>\n
