Don't be a passenger of someone who is drunk or impaired. 4) Wear a helmet on motorcycles and bikes. 5) Learn to swim, never swim alone, never swim at night, and never swim while drunk or impaired. 6) Stay away from ladders and roofs. 7) Stay away from situations where illegal drugs may be present 8) Do not handle firearms unless you have completed a firearms safety class.
