High Heels

10 ways to prevent an injury from falling from high heels

• 
  1. Always wear a helmet when you walk. A helmet can at least help prevent catastrophic head injuries. 
  Walk with a friend who can catch you when you fall.
  2. Walk with a friend who can catch you when you fall
  3. Choose safe walking clothes such as helmet, long pants such as jeans and wear long sleeves. (Longer the better so that it will protect from scratches).
  
  
  
  
  
  
  4. Wear bright colored clothes so that drivers and your friends who are standing far can easily see where you fell.
  5. Relax. Don't resist your fall. By the time when you hit the ground, tensing up your muscles will severely limit your body's natural ability to absorb impact.
  6. Keep your arms bent. Same with your legs. It is instinctive to stick your arms out, but if your elbows are locked, there is a good chance you'll break a bone in your arm. Keep an angle in your elbow and do not tense your muscles.
  7. Remember that as you fall to stay loose. Attempting to land on your rear end can increase the risk of injury to your tail bone, so if at all possible try to go completely limp and land with your upper arm towards the ground. Bend your knees as you land to cushion the impact. 
  8. Duck and roll. Rolling will lessen the impact and get you away from their hooves, and ducking should protect your head. Treat it like a somersault.
  9. Learn that once you stop rolling to gently move your arms, legs, fingers,toes, head, wrists, and ankles, one at a time. If you feel even the slightest bit of pain, lie still until help comes; it would be dangerous to move. But if you feel up to it, stand up slowly without jerking your body and act like nothing happened and walk away. And if a nice guy offers you help pretend to be hurt and get his number. 
  10. At last don't ever scream and shout, keep your sexy.
