Never slip again with the penguin trick
Oops! When it’s slippery, this trick will keep you firmly on the ground.
Even the most cautious of us can have dangerous falls on black ice – here’s how to stay stable.
Ouch! No matter how careful we are: if it’s really slippery outside, we’ll soon be on the ground. This is an awkward moment at best; unfortunately, but also quickly a painful injury or even a broken bone. Luckily, that doesn’t have to be the case: With a simple trick, even the most slippery surface of ice can no longer scare you.
Black Ice: Penguins know how it works!
Nature is a good role model for safe black ice technique – and who would know better than the animals that waddle over smooth ice surfaces for half their lives? Nature not only gave penguins nice, wide flippers, but also taught them how to take every step safely. It’s practical that it also works for us humans – see for yourself how it works in the video.
