Safe Shoveling Tips

SUPERIOR- This latest snow fall had folks out shoveling again.
Medical professionals say they've seen many injuries due to shoveling,
ranging from mild to serious.

They say there is a right way and a wrong to shovel.

It's more than just bending your knees.

Dr. Greg Luke said, "when you grab some snow, you have to throw it straight forward. What you don't want to do is grab some and do this sort of a thing off to the side. That's very hard on the back."

Dr. Luke said it is also important to use the right type of shovel.

He says a push shovel is better if possible but he says of you must throw snow, use a scoop shovel.
