Important topic. Along with learning how to fall properly, which now I’ll check out more on, there’s lots of fall prevention info out there that can prevent the fall in the first place. When I lived in a cold snowy area, I kept a pair of micro spikes on my boots all winter so I was never tempted to go out without them. I did have to switch from Yak Traks, which seem to be made cheaper and flimsier these days (actually experienced several falls when the rubber parts broke and the pairs on both feet got hooked together as I walked!). Switched to another brand of micro spikes so no coiled springs to get hooked together. Check your Yak Traks carefully and disgard them if the rubber is torn at all. My old ones lasted for decades and the replacement ones started failing the first winter.
