The best way to avoid being hurt by a falling icicle is to constantly be aware of your surroundings. If possible, avoid walking under roof overhangs during the winter. If you must do so, look up and take notice of any icicles that have formed. Never stand still underneath a roof where icicles are present. And when walking in an urban environment where tall buildings are the norm, know that ice tends to drop between five and ten feet away from the sides of the structure. Finally, if you see ice falling from a building, steer clear of it at all costs.
