I n many cases, car accidents result in injuries, both minor and major. However, no matter the circumstance, your immediate concern after an accident should be to address your injuries with a medical professional so you can begin the path to recovery. Here are four of the most common injuries we see. Whiplash Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a forceful and sudden back-and-forth movement of the neck. This motion can cause injury in the spine as well as the ligaments, muscles, nerves, and other neck tissues. The symptoms of whiplash may include severe neck pain, tenderness, headaches (most often starting at the base of the skull), stiffness, fatigue, dizziness, soreness, decreased range of motion in the neck, and pain or numbness spreading into the arms. It may also lead to blurred vision, tinnitus, sleep problems, irritability, difficulty with concentration, memory problems, and depression. ACCIDENT AW 4 CAR ACCIDENT INJURIES
WITH NO SNOW AT ALL
An old-fashioned snowball fight is the epitome of winter activities. But if snowfall is lacking or it’s just too cold to venture outside and hurl freezing balls of ice at each other, don’t let it dampen your spirits. You can create and orchestrate your own indoor, snow-free, and entirely safe snowball fight. Make Your Snowballs While craft stores sell large white cotton puffs that look like snowballs, they’re too light to get any good velocity behind them. Instead, make your own “snowballs” with just a few materials in four easy steps: 1. You’ll need a pair of scissors, several pairs of cheap white nylon stockings (one pair can make about 10 snowballs), and a bag of polyester fiberfill, like Poly-Fil, or use the stuffing from a few old stuffed animals you no longer want. 2. Stuff a handful of the filling down into the end of one stocking leg and tie a knot, creating a round “snowball.” 3.

How to Play There’s really no “right” way to have a snowball fight. It’s often just about who can hit whom the most, but if you want to turn it into a measurable competition, divide your group into two teams and distribute the snowballs evenly between them. Then create boundaries for each team by laying down masking tape across the room. Teams must stay on their side of the line at all times. Set a timer for however long you’d like the fight to go on, and at your signal, teams can start hurling snowballs across the room at one another. When time is up, gather and count the snowballs on each side, and the team with the fewest snowballs is the winner! A crafty indoor snowball fight can be a lot of fun for people of all ages, not just kids. Best of all, the crafting part is something you only have to do once, and then you have a stock of snowballs for every winter to come.
