“Every year we face the consequences of tubing. People plan a fun vacation, but it ends in tragedy. Almost every winter, victims are brought to the emergency room straight from the hill. Often injuries require multiple surgical interventions and then long-term rehabilitation. The consequences of an injury can linger for many years, and sometimes for a lifetime,” lamented Konstantin Tutynin.

To avoid tragic consequences, the doctor recommends following simple rules:

• only a specially prepared route (no more than 20% slope), the presence of sides (gutter-shaped), no sudden changes in terrain;
• riding strictly alone;
• helmet is required;
• hold the handles tightly.

What you should absolutely not do:

• ride where there are obstacles (trees, people, cars, etc.);
• connect several tubes to each other;
• ride together or in a group;
• sit on tubing until the slope is completely cleared by the previous ones who have rolled down;
• stand, lie down or jump on the tubing while descending.
