Safety Rules In Long Jump
Long jump is a fun and exciting activity, but it’s important to stay safe while participating. There are several safety rules that we need to follow to prevent injuries.
What are Safety Rules?
Safety rules are guidelines that help us stay safe during any activity. They are like instructions that tell us how to do things correctly and avoid danger.
Some of the safety rules in long jump include:
- Proper Landing: When landing, it’s important to bend your knees and roll forward. This helps absorb the impact and prevents injuries to your ankles and knees.
- Clear Runway: The runway should be free of any obstacles or hazards. This ensures that you can run smoothly and safely without tripping or falling.
- No Pushing or Shoving: It’s important to respect each other’s space and avoid pushing or shoving during the jump. This prevents accidents and ensures everyone stays safe.
- One Jumper at a Time: Only one person should jump at a time. This prevents collisions and ensures that everyone has enough space to jump safely.
- Stay Behind the Line: Make sure to stay behind the starting line until it’s your turn to jump. This prevents false starts and ensures a fair competition.
- Listen to the Coach: Always listen to your coach’s instructions and follow their guidance. They are there to help you stay safe and improve your jumping skills.
- No Running Back: After jumping, avoid running back towards the starting line. This can cause confusion and potential collisions.
