May PSA Wheelies: 30 Seconds

This alert goes out to parents:  wheeled shoes – often called wheelies – raise serious safety concerns for children. 

The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, a not-for-profit organization, provides some tips for parents to pass along to their youngsters.

Use the shoes for recreation only - not for regular wear - and always remove the wheels when walking in the sneakers.

When skating on the shoes avoid crowded public areas like malls, busy sidewalks and intersections with automobiles.

Always wear the proper safety equipment including helmets, wrist guards and protective pads, and remind children to be aware of how their bodies feel. Pain is the first sign of a problem.
