LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — People are already falling on the ice this winter; here are a few tips to help minimize your risk of falling on the ice.  The Penguin walk helps remind us how to walk on ice.

• Keep your weight forward and on your front foot
• Keep your arms out by your side to help you balance
• Walk flat footed and take short shuffling steps
• Wear footwear that provides traction
• Step down, not out from curbs
• Keeps your knees slightly bent
• Walk on snow or grass if possible
