Are snow tubes safe?
Yes! Snow tubes are designed to be used by families as a fun activity in the winter, so many brands are incredibly conscious of the safety of their design. Parents are concerned with how to dress their kids in winter, so they will also be looking at the safety of sledding tubes too. Certain features like handles and a sunken in seat make tubes safer for kids to use. But you should also look for a low-profile valve, which sits closer to the surface of the tube and can reduce the risk of a valve injury if you wipeout on the hill.
