The Greater Boston area could see anywhere from one to two feet of snow on Saturday, according to meteorologist Dave Epstein’s latest prediction. But, with snow comes ice, and with ice comes falling. Falling on snow or ice might seem like a chance to go viral on TikTok, Youtube, Instagram, or any other platform with video and viewers to laugh at fail compilations, but it’s also a way to end up with a concussion. So, it’s advised to avoid it.

But, when avoiding falling what is the best strategy? Trying the old low and slow, barely picking up your feet and trying to find the nearest branch to stabilize on? Or maybe it’s best to just launch into it, ice skating along Newbury Street sounds fun. Although WikiHow suggests concentrating on walking and buying the correct footwear.
