When is ice safe? There is no sure answer!
Ice seldom freezes or thaws at a uniform rate. It can be a foot thick in one spot while only an inch thick just 10 feet away.
Safety Tips
use a helmet when sledding
don't sled after dark or when visibility is bad (like when it's snowing)
sledding down hills that are near roads, streets and around trees can be dangerous
don't double up on a sled unless it's made for two or more
slide in wide open areas
show respect for younger children who may be near you
don't cut off others on the hill
don't run into others, even for fun, someone will get hurt
wait your turn
be polite and courteous
when skating or playing on ice, children should be supervised by an adult
make sure someone has a cell phone to call 9-1-1 in case of an emergency
