I am terrified of slipping and falling on ice. You could become seriously hurt.

So, as a friend and I were trying to walk to a downtown and avoid big patches of ice on the sidewalks, I wondered how to keep from falling.

We did some digging and discovered a tested and true method of walking to prevent falls. Of course, you may look silly, but that is a small price to pay.

The trick? Walk like a penguin! If you are older, walk like Tim Conway's old man character on the Carol Burnett Show.  Check out the videos that show you how below and be careful out there.
