Snow and ice aren’t dangerous only for automobiles, trucks and bikes, you know; the same applies to pedestrians, especially the ones who aren’t as diligent as they should under wintery conditions.

Even though he slipped and fell onto the ground, fortunately, he reacted on instincts and quickly tossed himself around avoiding a fatal encounter.
