Inspired by @aarongorman1's video!

The "penguin waddle" is great for this. Reduces chance of slipping a lot.

ice is no joke. my grandmother fell over and had to get a hip-replacement last winter. luckily she has recovered well.

[aggylyf]

Even better when you see gravel, so you trust the ice, but the gravel has melted into the ice, and is no longer on top

[pekkajarvinen]

In time you will develop a different kind of way to walk. Never slip again when you learn it. The key is to be very relaxed while you walk, if you fight it you'll get back pain

[lauraj.]

Yeah, this is why I use the spikes under my shoes whenever the roads are slippery. The trauma of a fall straight unto my back many years back still hunt me…

[juhis]

when you're walking one the street and suddenly both of your feet slip at the same time but some insane reflexes kick in causing your legs to move faster than light and you automatically regain balance

[Kurouzuri]

There's a Finnish company that makes winter boots with retractable spikes, called Aaltonen. The other two boots I can vouch for are Ilves and Trento, in case someone is interested. I live in northern Sweden, and if this doesn't happen at least three times every winter, it ain't a real winter 😅

I was in Sweden over Christmas and we bought a pair of strap-on spikes for under the heels. So much safer. We also saw some awesome ankle-boots with flip-able spikes, so you can easily adjust from outdoors to in.

Can recommend icebug shoes, they have grip spikes underneath and are warm and near waterproof 👍

Surviving all winter, just to slip on the gravel once the ice is gone ...

My greatest concern is the Angel saying, "See you again soon"... How soon is soon??? 😂😂😂

[jannieschluter]

In Finland we have spike attachments for shoes. I would not go without them...

[erstmalnurso]

This "See you again soon!" 🤣🤣🤣

[artbookgaming]

Don't worry, you'll learn the balance focused way to walk that lets you walk and even run on ice and snow effortlessly in a few years

[МарияПойкалайнен]

Spikes! I don't leave house without them in the winter 😅 They save lives 😅😅

[hattarapilvi]

i've broken an arm once and now almost never leave the house without spike add ons during winter (wish i had already put safety before style when i was younger lol)

[play_kitkat]

I’ve never walked so slow in my life until I spent winter in Finland

[Ірина-ре]

Too sad and scary! I have recently experienced this!😢

[TeemuRämänen]

Us Finns would make great Irish dancers due to so much practise walking on slippery ice in winters. 😂

[dreamwolf]

As a kid, fell through the ice on a lake while ice fishing.

I was clinically dead for over 15 minutes.

I couldnt see anything, but i felt VERY warm. Toasty even.
