Bindings of skis have to be adjusted by the professional – too hard won't be undone when falling, and then the risk will be high to break the leg or to get hit lyzhiny on the head or the body. And if bindings weak, then skis can just fly to descent time that is also fraught with injuries.

It is necessary to put on the complete protective set – the helmet, knee pads, special overlays for hips. But even if the helmet is put on, when falling it is necessary to try to clasp the head with hands not to allow the hard shot about the slope surface.

During descent it is necessary to control speed and not to disperse strongly. Beginners aren't recommended to go down from high slopes.

It is necessary to fall correctly. Ski sticks need to try to be rejected as it is possible further, densely to press hands to the body, but not to extend them before itself.

Boots need to be laced up correctly: fingers have to be rather "free", and here the ankle and rise – hardly pulled together with the lacing. Insufficiently strapped ankle joint deprives of balance, and even enough experienced skaters.

At the movement of the leg in knees have to be halfbent, and the case – is inclined forward. Such postural pose will help to avoid injuries of the head and backbone when falling.

If to fall on skates, then to fall sideways. In case of falling it is necessary to relax as much as possible the body forward and to try to imitate movements of the small fish, having substituted as the support runners from palms and forearms.
