- Always obey highway laws
- Always wear a helmet when bicycling, skateboarding, or riding a motorcycle

- Following a seizure, do not drive until cleared by your doctor
- Hold onto handrails when using stairs
- Never stand on the top step of a ladder
- Wear skid-resistant footwear in wintery weather
- Enter unfamiliar bodies of water feet-first
- When diving, make sure the water is 10- to 12-feet deep
