Main risks

• Falls and collisions with people, trees, rocks or other obstacles.
• Loss of control due to excessive speed, bumps or icy surfaces.
• Blows to the head, wrists or spine from rollovers or sudden braking.
• Hands, feet or clothing becoming trapped in the runners, handles or ropes.
• Cuts or scratches from broken edges, protruding screws or damaged parts.
• Hypothermia or frostbite from prolonged exposure to cold and damp.
• Collisions with other sledges due to insufficient distance.
• Danger when approaching roads, car parks, rivers, lakes or embankments.
• Injuries from improvised jumps or use on slopes that are too steep.

Safe use

• Check the sledge before each outing: cracks, loose parts, fixings, ropes and runners in good condition.
• Wear a helmet, gloves, eye protection and waterproof, thermal clothing; footwear with non-slip soles.
• Choose a wide slope with good visibility, free of trees, rocks and fences, and with a stopping area at the end.
• Sit correctly and never head first; keep your feet ready to brake or steer according to the sledge’s design.
• Descend leaving sufficient distance from other users and respect the sledge’s occupant capacity.
• Avoid sledging in fog or low light, on very hard ice or very uneven surfaces.
• Do not build ramps or launch yourself from embankments or walls.
• Do not tow the sledge with motor vehicles; if pulling it on foot, do so at a moderate speed and in safe areas.
• Teach children to roll to one side to stop if they lose control.
• Do not consume alcohol or substances that impair reflexes.

Storage and maintenance

• Remove snow and moisture after use and dry all surfaces thoroughly.
• Store the sledge in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
• Regularly check ropes, handles and joints; replace any that show wear, cracks or fraying.
• Ensure there are no sharp edges or protruding screws; repair or replace the affected part.
• For transport, avoid dragging it over abrasive surfaces that could damage the runners.
• Do not place weight on top that could deform it.
• Keep the sledge out of the reach of children when not in use.

Usage restrictions

• Do not use on roads, car parks or areas with pedestrian or vehicle traffic.
• Do not use on frozen rivers or lakes or near bodies of water.
• Do not perform jumps, stunts or descents on very steep slopes.
• Do not descend standing up, lying face down or head first.
• Do not use if the user cannot remain seated securely (babies or very young children).
• Avoid use in case of pregnancy, recent injuries or back, neck or balance problems.
• Children must always be under the direct supervision of an adult.
• Respect the weight limits and number of occupants specified for the product.
• Do not use at night or in poor visibility, except in areas specifically designated and lit.
