Safe on a toboggan – safety tips
- The following is very important for a superb tobogganing experience:
- Warm and weatherproof clothes
- Sturdy shoes with non-slip soles
- Ski goggles and gloves
- Torch or headlight for evening tobogganing
- A helmet for optimum safety, particularly for children
- A toboggan with steering belt and rail edges bent inwards increases safety – a plastic bobsled is not suited for natural toboggan runs. You can borrow a toboggan for ideal winter enjoyment at the Tuxertal toboggan runs.
- Keep the seat free of snow, and dry.
- Always stay on the edge of the run during your ascent so as not to interfere with tobogganers racing into the valley. Keep dogs on a short leash and stop at blind spots.
- Make sure that the run is open for tobogganing when travelling on a toboggan run with automotive traffic. If specified, please abide by the tobogganing hours – you’re responsible for your own safety!
- "Don’t drink and drive" also applies for tobogganing – please note that alcohol affects your capacity for reaction.
- Use the ascent to inspect the run and make a mental note of striking passages and sharp turns
