Bowling Safety Tips – Two Major Dangers To Avoid
The bowling environment presents two major dangers to the untrained bowler – falling down and being hit. Falling down can be minimized by making sure there are no foreign substances on your shoes or on the approach. Follow these guidelines:
- Never apply powder or ashes to help you slide.
- Always keep food and drinks out of the bowling area.
- Never step beyond the foul line—you might track lane dressing onto the approach.
- Never bowl in street shoes.
- Check the bottoms of your shoes before bowling if you have walked out of the settee area for any reason.
- Always follow proper bowling etiquette when moving toward the approach area.
- Watch out for being hit with, or hitting someone else with, a bowling ball.
- Always look around you to see whether anyone is taking practice swings.
- Be careful with your own practice swings; always know how much room you have for making your movements. A good idea is to take practice swings or slides only on the approach and in the direction of the pins.
- Pick up your ball only on its sides, with both hands, and only after it has come to a stop on the ball return. You can avoid smashing your fingers if you look down at your ball as you pick it up with both hands.
Finally, heed these two warnings from Strictly Sport (they seem obvious, but you’d be surprised how often they occur):
- Never trigger the pinsetting machine to operate if someone is working on it.
- Never roll a ball toward the pins if someone is working on the pinsetter or if the pins are not fully exposed and ready for the ball to be rolled.
