Winter Woes You May Need Health Insurance For

Winter is the most magical time of the year. There are outdoor activities to enjoy like skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice skating, and tubing just to name a few. And we can’t forget what really makes the season magical, Christmas decorations like trees, lights, and little villages on bookshelves and fireplace mantles.

With all this magic, comes a bit of risk. Here are a few of the most common winter accidents you need to watch out for this year:

  • Falling which can include, but is not limited to:
    • Falling off ladders while putting up decorations
    • Falling while ice skating
    • Falling while putting the tree topper on
  • Skiing or snowboarding into a tree
  • Sliding off a sled
  • Testing out your kids’ new toys – especially those not made for adults (we’ve all been there)

The bottom line? Accidents happen. One day you’re living your best life, and the next you are falling out of Santa’s sleigh mid-flight*. Don’t get caught off guard. Health insurance coverage from Your Health Idaho can keep an accident from turning into a financial crisis.
