          * Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
          * Choose a sports program that enforces rules for safety and avoids drills and plays that increase the risk for head impacts.
          * Wear a helmet, or appropriate headgear, when you or your children:
              + Ride a bike, motorcycle, snowmobile, scooter, or use an all-terrain vehicle;
              + Play a contact sport, such as football, ice hockey, or boxing;

          * Prevent Older Adult Falls
              + Talk to your doctor to evaluate your risk for falling, and talk with them about specific things you can do to reduce your risk for a fall.
              + Ask your doctor or pharmacist to review your medicines to see if any might make you dizzy or sleepy. This should include prescription medicines, over-the counter medicines, herbal supplements, and vitamins.
              + Have your eyes checked at least once a year and be sure to update your eyeglasses if needed.
              + Do strength and balance exercises to make your legs stronger and improve your balance.
              + Make your home safer.
          * Make living and play areas safer for children
              + Install window guards to keep young children from falling out of open windows.
              + Use safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs when young children are around.
