A survey by theSuperior Institute of Health pointed out that every year there are 300,000 Italians suffer accidents during their holidays; Among the most frequent are, for example, sprained ankles or knees, which mainly affect the more adventurous travellers who are prepared to walk arduous mountain trails.

A train? A car already packed with luggage? Other criteria that only an experienced consultant can assess include the patient's room for manoeuvre, autonomy and size.

How can we prevent these accidents while on holiday?

We also learn how to prevent accidents so that we can enjoy our holiday without worries:

  • Before travelling, it is important to ensure that you have accident insurance cover, either by taking out travel insurance or by extending your own.
  • If you rent mopeds, bicycles or cars, make sure you know the local traffic regulations and make sure the vehicle is in good condition.
    Always carry a comfortable pair of shoes for walking.
  • If you go on an adventure holiday, don't skimp on equipment. One of the best precautions against injury is quality equipment.
  • If you plan a lot of exercise on holiday, start exercising already before you leave, perhaps with long walks.
    Always avoid dangerous actions such as climbing rocks or daring dives.

In the event of an injury that temporarily prevents the victim from walking, it is possible to hire a wheelchair for the short recovery period. Although it is not a piece of equipment you can live with naturally, it is equally essential to rely on a professional service, which offers certified wheelchairsproperly maintained and sanitised at the end of each hire.
